Divine Might: Goddesses in Greek Myth

Natalie Haynes brings the goddesses of Greek myth to the centre of the story, exploring their power, personalities and enduring influence with her characteristic wit and insight.

From Athena, Artemis and Aphrodite to Hera, Demeter, Hestia and the Muses, Divine Might examines figures who could be protective, creative, vengeful and formidable in equal measure. Haynes returns to the ancient stories to show how these goddesses were worshipped, represented and understood, and how their myths have continued to change through later retellings.

Accessible to newcomers while grounded in the classical tradition, this is a lively exploration of some of the most important female divinities of the ancient Greek world.
