Get ready to meet the goddesses, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Stone Blind and Pandora's Jar, Natalie Haynes.
These are the stories of the Greek goddesses. As fearsome, powerful and beloved as their male counterparts, it's time to look beyond the columns of a ruined temple to the awesome power within . . .
We meet Hera, who, whilst most often known for enacting vicious, creative revenge on the women - mortal or otherwise - who catch the wandering eye of her husband Zeus, turns out not to be such a villain after all.
We meet Demeter, a mother who will go to any lengths, no matter the cost, to retrieve her daughter Persephone from Hades' clutches.
We'll be introduced to The Furies, three women who will literally go to the ends of the earth to enact bloody vengeance but who, surprisingly, are the goddesses who can teach us the most about the way we live now.
Examining the role of these goddesses and more, Divine Might will change everything you thought you knew about our most ancient stories. Full of fire, fury and devotion, Natalie Haynes brings the divine women of Olympia kicking and screaming into the modern age.
'The great champion of women in Greek myth . . . One of the delights of the book is that Haynes reacquaints us with forgotten goddesses' - Daily Mail

    Divine indeed

    Like her first nonfiction book, "Pandora's Jar," we take a look at hitherto unmentioned goddesses in Greek mythology. The mix of quotes from primary literature, modern media, and her irrefutable talent for storytelling would make Homer want to rewrite the Iliad. As always, her immense wit, sense of humor, and detailed knowledge about Greek history make it an unforgettable read.
