Pandora’s Jar : Women in the Greek Myths

Description

In the many retellings of the Greek myths, the focus is generally on gods and heroes, but Natalie Haynes refocuses our gaze on the remarkable women at the centre of these ancient stories. ‘Funny, sharp explications of what these sometimes not-very-nice women were up to!’ – Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid’s TaleThe Greek myths are among the world’s most important cultural building blocks and they have been retold many times, but rarely do they focus on the remarkable women at the heart of these ancient stories. Now, in Pandora’s Jar: Women in the Greek Myths, Natalie Haynes – broadcaster, writer and passionate classicist – redresses this imbalance.
