Athena's Child
by Hannah Lynn
‘Gods do not pay the price for their wrongdoings, Perseus. Mortals do. The gods, like the rich of the world, push their agendas onto those whose voices are not loud enough to speak for themselves. The women. The weak. The unwanted. And no one shouts for those who need it the most. Why would they? To shout for another is to risk losing something yourself. And man cannot see beyond the depth of his own reflection.’
Athena’s Child was a quick and entertaining retelling of the story of Medusa. Although there are some myths that share she was born as a Gorgon, this is a version that captures betrayal and sorrow. Also included is a brief motion of Perseus and his encounter with Medusa.
Overall, I enjoyed this retelling and I got through it pretty quickly. The writing did seem to be basic and rudimentary in some areas, but this is a historical fiction novel. Just to get people interested enough to do their own research into Greek Mythology.
4/5 stars
