funny informative reflective fast-paced

Loved this! It goes into so much depth on commonly overlooked women in Greek mythology and just adds so much context and background to their characters. Women have always been in the centre of stories, but we seem to have forgotten it and written them out.

Just brilliant. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book like this - essentially an extended research paper. It was so interesting. I studied Classics a little in school but only some books of the Iliad or the Aeneid. This book was so informative but it was captivating and the authors voice really shone through - occasionally adding witty or even shocking remarks. Fell in love with the author and Greek mythology all over again.

I want the text of this book transcribed onto my bones and skull. This was my first Natalie Haynes read and by God, absolutely breathtaking. An essential book that everyone should read at least once. So much of what I thought I knew of Greek mythology was either wrong or warped. Now I’m eagerly falling down a rabbit hole of searching for more Haynes books as well as other mythos retellings.
