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?
Five men survive a South Seas shipwreck and wash up on a
seemingly deserted beach, only to discover that five beautiful, winged
women inhabit the island. Dazzled and soon in love, the men will do
anything to possess these flying women . . . but what they plan, and
how the magical women respond, is tellingly—and predictably—human.
First published in 1914, and praised by Ursula K. LeGuin as “a real
rediscovery—romantic, satiric, funny, fanciful, and a good read,” Angel
Island is an adventure story and a genre-defining tale about women’s
rights.

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.
