About this product
Product Information
An anthology of gender-bent, queered, race-bent, and inclusive retellings from the enchanting and eternally popular world of Greek myth, featuring stories by: Marika Bailey - Alyssa Cole - Zoraida Córdova - Maya Deane - Sarah Gailey - Zeyn Joukhadar - Mia P. Manansala - Juliana Spink Mills - Susan Purr - Taylor Rae - Jude Reali - Suleikha Snyder - Valerie Valdes - S. Zainab Williams - Wen Wen Yang Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, and the other denizens of Mount Olympus feel almost as present and larger than life today as they did when they were worshipped as gods. Humanity has been telling and retelling stories about the characters from Greek and Roman myth for centuries--heck, the Romans liked the Hellenic originals so much, they remade them faster than Marvel remakes Spider-Man movies. And from Virgil's Aeneid to Xena: Warrior Princess to Percy Jackson to The Song of Achilles , the obsession has never waned. Yet Fit for the Gods shows how these stories still have a power of metamorphosis that would impress Ovid. Brave, bold, and groundbreaking, the stories in Fit for the Gods will be like ambrosia for those craving fresh interpretations of their favorite myths, and give long-time fans a chance to finally see themselves in these beloved legends.

Reviews
"Sure, Zeus could transform himself into a swan. So what? The authors of these stories have done one better: transforming ancient myths into something bright, strange, and new. From shadowy soirees to futuristic floodwaters to the pale blinking of distant galaxies, Fit for the Gods proves once and for all that even the oldest myths truly are ever-relevant." --GennaRose Nethercott, author of Thistlefoot, "Sure, Zeus could transform himself into a swan. So what? The authors of these stories have done one better: transforming ancient myths into something bright, strange, and new. From shadowy soirees to futuristic floodwaters to the pale blinking of distant galaxies, Fit for the Gods proves once and for all that even the oldest myths truly are ever-relevant." --GennaRose Nethercott, author of Thistlefoot " Fit for the Gods reimagines, subverts, and expands the Greek mythological canon in thrilling and inspiring ways, across space and time and perspectives and genres. The labyrinth as an escape room for a last-ditch intervention, the Furies as a Filipino-American detective agency, Odysseus trapped by their spaceship's AI--every story in this brilliant collection is both a surprise and a satisfying delight." --Jane Pek, author of The Verifiers "Journey to Mount Olympus this summer with an anthology that puts an inclusive spin on your favorite Greek myths through authors playing with genre, sexuality, gender, and more." --Kelly Gallucci, We Are Bookish , "30 Summer Books to Have on Your Radar", "Smart, playful, funny, and insightful, these stories scratched an itch I didn't even realize I had. Such a pleasure to see these familiar tales spun in a brand new, and beautiful way. I had a blast with this book." --Victor LaValle, author of Lone Women "There's nothing I love more than reimagined myth, and this anthology is exactly what I love--full of wild, wonderful reimaginings that add to the longstanding tradition of mythological retellings. From emotional and fantastical, to evocative and sexy, there's something here for everyone. Fit for the Gods reads like the nectar of them." --Sarah MacLean, bestselling author of Heartbreaker "Sure, Zeus could transform himself into a swan. So what?
