In the beginning, everything was fine.* And then along came Zeus.
*more or less Ahh Greek myths. Those glorious tales of heroism,
honour and... petty squabbles, soap-opera drama and more weird sex
than Fifty Shades of Grey could shake a stick at! It's about time
we stopped respecting myths and started laughing at them. Did you
know Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, was born of some
discarded genitals? Or that Hera threw her own son off a mountain
because he was ugly? Or that Apollo once kidnapped a boat full of
people while pretending to be a dolphin? And let's not even get
started on Zeus - king of the gods, ruler of the skies and a man
who's never heard of self-control. In fact, if there's one thing
most Greek myths have in common, it's that all the drama could have
been avoided if SOMEONE could keep it in their toga... Horrible
Histories writer Susie Donkin takes us on a hilarious romp through
mythology and the many times the gods (literally) screwed
everything up! Stephen Fry's Mythos by way of Drunk History, Zeus
is a Dick is perfect for those who like their myths with a heavy
dollop of satire. 'Who knew mythology was so bonkers? I am grateful
- it had me laughing from the first page to the last.' - Miranda
Hart 'It's about time someone called him out on all this' - Hera,
goddess of marriage, wife of Zeus 'Worst. Father. Ever.' - Artemis,
goddess of the hunt, daughter of Zeus 'Oh yeah, focus on him. I
never did anything wrong. Nothing to see here' - Poseidon, god of
the seas, brother of Zeus 'Just a real dick, honestly' - Many, many
people
