Bad Girls of Ancient Greece. Incredible Stories of Fierce, Passionate, Cunning, and Uncompromising Goddesses

We all know the illustrious men from ancient Greek myths – powerful gods and desperate heroes. But what about the women – both immortal and mortal? They are often overshadowed by their husbands, fathers, and sons, yet sometimes these individuals were no less (and perhaps even more!) strong, brave, and wise. Moreover – they were treacherous, vengeful, and unpredictable. Turning a rival into a bee, rewarding her with madness, or poisoning her children? These girls knew how to have fun!
Lizzy Tishin's book tells the stories of goddesses, mortals, titans, nymphs, and all the other figures we are used to considering secondary characters. You will immerse yourself in tales of their glorious deeds, strange antics, daring actions, and feelings so intense that they sometimes led to catastrophic consequences.

Oh yes, even in those ancient times, women caused men plenty of problems!
This witty (and sometimes spicy) guide to ancient Greek myths presents this world from the perspective of women – and it does so vividly, interestingly, and humorously. Not only the supreme goddesses, but also ordinary mortals changed the fates of those they loved and hated, determined the outcomes of wars, and influenced entire states.
This book is a wonderful reminder that we, women, have been awesome from the very beginning.
