If you're already familiar with the hegemonic Greek myths, reading about them from the "other side" is quite a fun experience. The book also showcases the importance of interpretation in the way we understand history. I believe the most profound point Haynes makes is that some of these stories have actually grown more misogynist over time as we choose to remember the most sexist myths out of hundreds of variations within an unregulated oral tradition.
