3.5
The male gods are always the star of the show. Or have been until Haynes came along to shake things up.
Haynes shares the goddesses side of the story, both major and minor. She shares their strengths and weaknesses and shows why we love or despise them.
Haynes writes (and narrates the audiobook) with humour and wit that has you laughing at centuries old mythology and modern culture references and perceptions.
She makes this relevant for modern readers by describing films that depict characters from Greek mythology including Xanadu and the Disney cartoon Hercules. She talks about comic books and how other popular characters take inspiration from Greek mythology.
