Literary sub-genre: Novel or play retells a classic from the perspective of a secondary character or characters. The new story tracks the the original but shifts some of its action offstage. The two versions intertwine, each now commenting on the other.

Examples:
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Tom Stoppard).
James (Percival Everett).

Are there others? There must be.

@JamesGleick C. S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces powerfully tells the Cupid and Psyche myth from Psyche's "jealous" sister's perspective.

All his life, he felt that Apuleius got one key thing wrong, so he changed one key idea to make it psychologically compelling. To do that effectively, he had to tell it from the sister's perspective.
