Goddesses

Immortal Women of Classical Antiquity, newly discovered. Bestselling author Natalie Haynes takes us into the world of Greek mythology, to the goddesses of Olympus. Misunderstandings and misrepresentations in art, literature, and pop culture distort our view, but with this book, we suddenly see female figures we thought we knew in a whole new light. Athena is the goddess of war, but she is also valued for her wise counsel. Aphrodite is the most beautiful of all goddesses, yet she has a vengeful side and punishes harshly anyone who displeases her. And the three Furies, who are often out for bloody revenge, surprisingly teach us a lot about modern life. A feminist retelling of ancient tales that surprises.
