I love Greek mythology. My biggest problem with it is it takes me forever to read a retelling because I find myself Googling characters and places. Which is why it took me 6 days to finish this one! It tells the story of the Trojan War from the women's perspectives, and it's absolutely fantastic!!

This book about the women of the Trojan War is everything that my Percy Jackson/Greek mythology obsessed feminist self has ever wanted ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Natalie Haynes is a British classicist who is both insanely smart and very funny. She brings all her skills to this retelling of the central Greek myths: Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.
The story is centered on the women involved: from Hera to Hecuba, from the Furies and the Fates.
The story works best when it’s centered the lives and the fates of the women of Troy. The wives and daughters of Greek soldiers also figure prominently.
It definitely helps to have read some Greek mythology. May I recommend Emily Wilson’s translations? They’re amazing.

Awesome storytelling! The story of the Trojan war never gets old to me, and this version focusing on the women (mortal and immortal) involved was great!
