i mean this in the nicest way, and i absolutely adore being a librarian, but natalie haynes makes me regret my choice to pick librarianship over art history and classics. this was AMAZING. her writing is SO smart and SO funny. I will read absolutely anything she publishes.

Haynes is absolutely the best when it comes to modern retelling of mythological women, which is something of a trend now, and this book explains why.
She is so informed about their stories and the different versions how they differ and the implications of each change. she offers great insight into these characters and the plays or art they can be found in.
