Great list but "The Witch's Heart" by Genevieve Gornichec should not be in a Greek Mythology list. It's 100% nordic mythology... Loved this book though !

The books by Alex Michaelides (The Silent Patient and The Maidens) are not Greek Mythology retellings, they're just written by someone who is Greek. :\

So, the Silent Patient IS a retelling of Alcestis' myth. I'd go look that up...he was VERY clever!
As far as The Maidens go, have you ever read any stories about Dionysus and his Maenads? It may not be a direct retelling of a specific myth, but one wouldn't exist without the other. :)

I had no idea The Secret History was a greek mythology retelling?
Patricia wrote: "I had no idea The Secret History was a greek mythology retelling?"Technically what I can find is that "A Secret History" is heavily inspired by the Greek play "The Bacchae" by Euripides, which focuses on the god Dionysus and his wild, ritualistic followers.
Side note... A Secret History is amazing!
