The Forgotten Women of Greek Mythology Cunning, monstrous, virtuous. Rediscover the overlooked women of Greek myth.
Illustrations accompany a fictional rewriting of each of 50 women's stories, followed by a critical analysis of their role in the mythological canon.
Goddesses and mortals, warriors and muses, women are at the heart of ancient Greek folklore, but their stories have long been eclipsed by those of men. Heroines of Olympus tells the tales of fifty of these enthralling women, including majestic Athena, goddess of war; vengeful Nemesis, goddess of retribution; and gladiatorial Hippolyta, queen of the Amazon.
With beautifully written retellings of Greek myths and a fascinating dive into their place in history, alongside exquisite illustrations, celebrate the dazzling and diverse heroines of ancient Greece.
