Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths by Natalie Haynes
3.75
informative reflective slow-paced
A really insightful and witty book about some of the most misunderstood women in Classical mythology. The level of detail in the analysis is insane and the amount of sources Haynes includes, from ancient writings to contemporary receptions, is so wide. And yet the tone is just about conversational enough for the book not to be preachy. I did find it a little dense in places and there were a few slightly unnecessary tangents, but overall I really enjoyed it and any book that describes Jason as “oily” is an automatic slay for me.
