Humans have been retelling stories for almost as long as they’ve been telling stories. There’s lots of ‘classic’ literature that’s a retelling of older stories. There are new stories that retell old stories but with new names and places.

It’s a way to adapt and interpret ideas and themes for new times/generations/perspectives.
