Description
Greek myths, as told by the women who feature in them, are a testament to the extremes of human experience. From the brutal to the beautiful, these stories weave together the threads of a world where humans and immortals coexist, often in perilous and exciting ways.
These traditional tales, known as muthos, may have originated in a specific cultural and religious context, but their power endures. They excavate the very extremes of human experience, including sudden catastrophe, radical reversals of fortune, and seemingly arbitrary events that transform lives.
Charlotte Higgins' retelling of these myths offers a fresh and original perspective on the stories that have captivated us for centuries. With its focus on the women who drive the narrative, this book sheds new light on the human condition and the enduring power of these ancient tales.
