Opis

Cunning, monstrous, virtuous. Rediscover the overlooked women of Greek myth. 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.
