Abstract
Although the phenomenon of modern retellings of Greco-Roman myth from a female perspective is not new in and of itself (e.g. Christa Wolf’s Kassandra, 1983, and Medea, 1996, Margaret Atwood’s Penelopiad, 2005, and Ursula Le Guin’s Lavinia, 2008), more recent years, starting from approximately 2017, have seen an unprecedented boom in the publication of such novels. In this contribution, I outline the phenomenon of rewriting with the help of some literary theory (Genette, Plate) and I try to chart what is at stake in these recent retellings. Does the choice for a female perspective also imply a feminist stance? Why are these stories being rewritten at this time? And why are they so hugely popular?
