'Switching the focus of Greek myths to bring women, so frequently
the supporting cast, to the fore is refreshing and provides a
modern take on some very old stories' - Fortean Times Cunning,
seductive, monstrous, virtuous - whether in divine or mortal form,
women shape the foundations of ancient Greek mythology, but have
long been eclipsed by their male counterparts. Now, it's time for
their stories to be told. Heroines of Olympus tells the tales of 50
of the most enthralling women of Greek mythology, including
goddesses and nymphs such as majestic Athena, goddess of war;
vengeful Nemesis, goddess of retribution; and gladiatorial Amazon
queen Hippolyta, as well as mortals and demigods such as
long-suffering Andromache, murderous Clytemnestra and joyous Iphis.
Alongside each story, a character portrait, captivating
illustration and explanation of their historic roles by ancient
historian Dr Ellie Mackin Roberts provide an indispensable
contemporary perspective on these extraordinary women.
