Every myth contains multiple timelines within itself: the time in which it is set, the time it is first told, and every retelling afterward. Myths may be the home of the miraculous, but they are also mirrors of us. Which version of a story we choose to tell, which characters we place in the foreground, and which ones we allow to fade into the shadows: these reflect both the teller and the reader as much as they show the characters of the myth. We have made space in our storytelling to rediscover women who have been lost or forgotten. They are not villains, victims, wives, and monsters: they are people.
