Greek Mythology Fanfiction
The oldest source material on the archive: gods, heroes and monsters of ancient Greek religion and epic, written and rewritten for three thousand years and counting. AO3's mythology fandom is dominated by Hades/Persephone retellings in every conceivable register — dark romance, domestic comedy, feminist reclamation — alongside Apollo's doomed lovers, Artemis's hunt, and Trojan War fic that argues with Homer directly. The umbrella overlaps with Lore Olympus, Epic and Song of Achilles readers, making it a perpetual crossroads of myth-retelling culture.
