Powerful Goddesses

A revealing dive into the stories of women in Greek mythology. After restoring the spotlight to women in mythology in *Pandora's Jar*, Natalie Haynes returns to the Greek world to reveal the power and complexity of the goddesses who shaped Olympus. With her intelligent, witty style and accessible erudition, she revisits the stories of Athena, Aphrodite, Hera, Demeter, Artemis, Hestia, and many other divine figures who have been relegated to the background for centuries. *Powerful Goddesses* is a fascinating and contemporary portrait of these immortal women, as feared, loved, and contradictory as the gods, and an irresistible invitation to rethink Greek mythology from a new critical, entertaining, and necessary perspective.
