    Medium Rare: An interview with A. Natasha Joukovsky
    Mar 6 2026
    Today on Greek Mythology Retold I interview Natasha Joukovsky about her novel Medium Rare, a modern reinterpretation of the myth of Icarus told through the voice of a contemporary Cassandra. We talk about hubris, fate, warning signs, and how the ancient cautionary tale of flying too close to the sun still echoes in modern stories. If you love Greek mythology, myth retellings, and the deeper themes behind the Trojan War traditions, this conversation explores how those ideas continue to evolve today.

    In this episode of Greek Mythology Retold, I sit down with bestselling fantasy author Ayana Gray to discuss her newest novel, I, Medusa. It's a powerful and intimate retelling of the Medusa myth. We explore how Gray reimagines Medusa not as a monster, but as a young woman named Meddy before she becomes the legendary Gorgon of Greek mythology. If you love Greek mythology retellings, feminist myth reinterpretations, fantasy author interviews, and deep conversations about storytelling craft, this episode is for you.

    I, Medusa is available on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble.
