"Planet of the Apes" is one of my favorite novels. Although I have a hard time coming up with something that would be an exact representation of the ideas behind the novel, I can think of at least one other series that is fairly similar that I also enjoyed reading: The Gaea Trilogy by John Varley.
It consists of three novels, Titan, Wizard, and Demon. These take place primarily on a large space habitat orbiting Saturn. Basically, you have a crew of astronauts being abducted in to the station and finding a world controlled by a powerful intelligence and inhabited by various creatures similar to our mythological monsters.
