Bad Girls of Ancient Greece. Incredible Stories of Fierce, Passionate, Cunning, and Uncompromising Goddesses
We all know the brilliant men of ancient Greek myths — powerful gods and desperate heroes. But what about women — both eternal and mortal? They are overshadowed by their husbands, fathers, and sons, yet sometimes these individuals were no...
less (if not more!) strong, brave, and wise. Moreover — treacherous, vengeful, and unpredictable. To turn a rival into a bee, to reward her with madness, or to poison her children? These girls knew how to have fun!
Lizzy Tiffin's book tells the stories of goddesses, mortals, titans, nymphs, and all the other figures we have come to consider secondary characters. You will immerse yourself in stories of their glorious deeds, strange antics, daring acts, and feelings so powerful that they sometimes led to catastrophic consequences.
Oh yes, even in those ancient times, women caused men no small amount of trouble!
A witty (and sometimes spicy) guide to ancient Greek myths presents this world from the women's perspective — and does so vividly, interestingly, and humorously. Not only the supreme goddesses, but also ordinary mortals changed the destinies 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 cool from the very beginning.
