I feel dumb for expecting this book to be different than the myth. Although it was nice having a female perspective, it was still typical Ancient Greece (gas-lighting women, punishing women for men’s wrongs, suicide, etc). It was well written but needed a LOT more paragraph breaks - each page was an entire block of text. Book was short but slog to get through.
