 What has been will be again,
    what has been done will be done again;
    there is nothing new under the sun.

If you like myths and legends, the novels on this list are all influenced by different sources of Mythology and legends from around the world. It might start with Classic Greek and Roman Mythology, but it definitely doesn’t end there.
