Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths by Natalie Haynes

informative

4.0

Haynes spins classic myths anew by centering the voices of ten female figures, including Medusa, Helen, and Medea. While myths are inherently folk tales popularized by multiple storytellers, modern translations often focus on a narrative that removes women's autonomy or sanity and centers the heroic male. Haynes experly analyzes lost versions/interpretations of these texts.
