If you ever found yourself wondering 'where are the women?' in the mythos and antiquity you've been presented, A Thousand Ships is for you. In fact, it's undeniably important for ALL who study Greek history and myth from the single lens we're often given. Impeccably researched, Haynes gives the women of the Trojan War back their agency and their voices in a series of interconnected stories that are near impossible to put down. Calliope's interludes are especially perfect, each of her chapters a necessary perspective that lends more to the original than one might ever imagine.

Really good and cool read. I found it so refreshing to be taken through the Trojan War’s events through a different set of eyes, which gives so much context and empathy for varying characters in the book. Bravery of all sorts on display, even when it’s not in the more obvious fighting way. I especially loved th interactions with the gods who caused it all due to overpopulation!
