Pandora's Jar by Natalie Haynes

dark funny informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

For some reason, I have never thought that the greek myths we know best, are in fact just one retelling and there are many others that could be more accurate, or at least portray a different view (that view obviously being from the women). This was such a good introduction to classical history, in a bite sized manner, and on characters that someone like me (semi decent ancient greek mythology knowledge) is familiar with. I really enjoyed seeing all the art and modern media retellings of famous myths, as well as the snarky comments from the author
