Description
Experience the timeless Greek myths in a fresh and unexpected way. Karrie Fransman and Jonathan Plackett have taken the classic stories and swapped the genders, creating a world where the familiar characters and situations are reimagined.
From the seductive male sirens to the brave heroines, and from the beautiful men forced to wed underworld queens, these myths are given a new twist. The result is a world that is both familiar and yet, utterly enchanting.
With no rewrites, reimaginings or reinterpretations, just a simple switch of genders, this book offers a unique and refreshing take on the classic stories. Discover the new characters and the world they inhabit, and find out why these myths continue to shape our ideas about justice, tragedy and what makes a hero's journey.
