The way this book is written is so unique and interesting. Each chapter focus on a different female figure in greek mythology. They each tell various myths from their perspective as the weave them. I found this so cool how it would talk about weaving a particular scene into the tapestry and then telling the story behind it.
The myths are condensed down in order to fit them all in but I do think they are shown in a way that gives a good overview/introduction to the multiple figures of mythology (and references to all the myths mentioned are included at the end if you want to do some further reading)
