In Divine Might Natalie Haynes, author of the bestselling
Pandora’s Jar, returns to the world of Greek myth and this time
she examines the role of the goddesses. We meet Athene, who sprang
fully formed from her father’s head: goddess of war and wisdom,
guardian of Athens. We run with Artemis, goddess of hunting and
protector of young girls (apart from those she decides she wants as
a sacrifice). Here is Aphrodite, goddess of sex and desire –
there is no deity more determined and able to make you miserable if
you annoy her. And then there’s the queen of all the Olympian
gods: Hera, Zeus’s long-suffering wife, whose jealousy of his
dalliances with mortals, nymphs and goddesses lead her to wreak
elaborate, vicious revenge on those who have wronged her. We also
meet Demeter, goddess of agriculture and mother of the kidnapped
Persephone, we sing the immortal song of the Muses and we warm
ourselves with Hestia, goddess of the hearth and sacrificial fire.
The Furies carry flames of another kind – black fires of
vengeance for those who incur their wrath. These goddesses are as
mighty, revered and destructive as their male counterparts. Isn’t
it time we looked beyond the columns of a ruined temple to the
awesome power within?
*** From the bestselling author of Stone Blind and A Thousand Ships
*** When you open up, who will you let in? Alex Morris has lost
everything: her relationship, her career and her faith in the
future. Moving to Edinburgh to escape her demons, Alex takes a job
teaching at a Pupil Referral Unit. It's a place for kids whose
behaviour is so extreme that they cannot be taught in a regular
classroom. Alex is fragile with grief and way out of her depth. Her
fourth-year students are troubled and violent. Desperate to reach
them, Alex turns to the stories she knows best. Greek tragedy isn't
the most obvious way to win over such damaged children, yet these
tales of fate, family and vengeance speak directly to them.
Enthralled by the bloodthirsty justice of the ancient world, the
teenagers begin to weave the threads of their own tragedy - one
that Alex watches, helpless to prevent.

New York Times bestselling author Natalie Haynes returns to the
world of ancient Greek myth in this scintillating follow-up to
Pandora's Jar. Few writers today have reshaped our view of the
ancient Greek myths more than revered bestselling author Natalie
Haynes. Divine Might is a female-centered look at Olympus and the
Furies, focusing on the goddesses whose prowess, passions,
jealousies, and desires rival those of their male kin, including:
Athene, who sprang fully formed from her father's brow (giving Zeus
a killer headache in the process), the goddess of war and provider
of wise counsel. Aphrodite, born of the foam (and sperm released
from a Titan's castrated testicles), the most beautiful of all the
Olympian goddesses, the epitome of love who dispenses desire and
inspires longing--yet harbors a fearsome vengeful side, doling out
brutal punishments to those who displease her. Hera, Zeus's
long-suffering wife, whose jealousy born of his repeated dalliances
with mortals, nymphs, and other goddesses, leads her to wreak
elaborate and often painful revenge on those she believes have
wronged her. (Well, wouldn't you?) Demeter, goddess of the harvest
and mother of Persephone; Artemis, the hunter and goddess of wild
spaces; the Muses, the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the
goddess of memory; and Hestia, goddess of domesticity and
sacrificial fire. Infused with Haynes's engaging charm and
irrepressible wit, Divine Might is a refreshing take on the legends
and stories we thought we knew.

Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2023 "Haynes is master
of her trade . . . She succeeds in breathing warm life into some of
our oldest stories."--Telegraph (UK) The national bestselling
author of A Thousand Ships and Pandora's Jar returns with a fresh
and stunningly perceptive take on the story of Medusa, the original
monstered woman. They will fear you and flee you and call you a
monster. The only mortal in a family of gods, Medusa is the
youngest of the Gorgon sisters. Unlike her siblings, Medusa grows
older, experiences change, feels weakness. Her mortal lifespan
gives her an urgency that her family will never know. When the sea
god Poseidon assaults Medusa in Athene's temple, the goddess is
enraged. Furious by the violation of her sacred space, Athene takes
revenge--on the young woman. Punished for Poseidon's actions,
Medusa is forever transformed. Writhing snakes replace her hair and
her gaze will turn any living creature to stone. Cursed with the
power to destroy all she loves with one look, Medusa condemns
herself to a life of solitude. Until Perseus embarks upon a fateful
quest to fetch the head of a Gorgon . . . In Stone Blind,
classicist and comedian Natalie Haynes turns our understanding of
this legendary myth on its head, bringing empathy and nuance to one
of the earliest stories in which a woman--injured by a powerful
man--is blamed, punished, and monstered for the assault. Delving
into the origins of this mythic tale, Haynes revitalizes and
reconstructs Medusa's story with her passion and fierce wit,
offering a timely retelling of this classic myth that speaks to us
today.
Written from hands-on experience gained from the complete
strip-down and rebuild of a Hyundai i10, Haynes can help you
understand, care for and repair your Hyundai i10. We do it
ourselves to help you do-it-yourself, and whatever your mechanical
ability, the practical step-by-step explanations, linked to over
900 photos, will help you get the job done right. Regular servicing
and maintenance of your Hyundai i10 can help maintain its resale
value, save you money, and make it safer to drive. What's covered:
Petrol: Hatchback 1.2 litre (1248cc) Exclusions: Does NOT cover 1.0
or 1.1 litre petrol engines, 1.1 litre diesel engine or LPG models,
