Title: A Thousand Ships
Author: Natalie Haynes
Rating: 4/5
TWs: Basically everything that happens in Greek myths. Yk whats up
The book is about the untold stories of the female characters in the Illiad. As someone who loves diving deep into Greek Myth this one was so awesome and refreshing. Focusing on the characters of Penelope, Hecuba, Briseis, Iphigenia and so many many more.
Characters only have their stories told briefly - standing in the shadow of their son's and husband's.
This was joyful and informative read.
