Description
Athena's Child by Hannah Lynn is a retelling of the myth of Medusa, a story of beauty, abuse, and the consequences of being a woman who refuses to be silenced. Gifted and burdened with stunning beauty, Medusa seeks sanctuary with the Goddess Athena, but her life is forever changed when she catches the eye of a powerful and lecherous god. As she becomes embroiled in a world of gods and monsters, Medusa must confront the repercussions of Athena's wrath and the true nature of her own identity. With a unique perspective on a well-known myth, this novel sheds light on the often-overlooked experiences of women in ancient Greek mythology. Medusa's story is one of survival, of finding strength in the face of overwhelming odds, and of reclaiming her own truth in a world that seeks to define her.
