I need to compare a modern literature piece to a classical myth. It can't be a myth just re-written, it needs to be a parallel story.
Thanks!

Are you using "modern literature" as in how that term is used at university or as all books written within the past century?
An Appointment in Samarra is a short story by by W. Somerset Maugham and parrallels a classic Arabian Folk Story or Myth about death. The Stories of the character Paul Bunyon also follow various Norse myths of old.
