The huge array of mythic & historical characters and things in the Nicholas Flammel series have mostly only a tenuous connection to established stories, but it's entertaining. I'd hardly regard it as "Myth retellings".
Sure.

But from what I recall, the Percy Jackson books aren't myth retelling also. Just mythical gods/demigods/creatures in the present. They seem similar to me.

And who needs similar as long as it is entertaining.
