GREEK MYTHS: A NEW RETELLING

Here are myths of the creation, of love and desire, adventure and magic, destructive gods, helpless humans, fantastical creatures, resourceful witches, the origins of birds and animals. This is a world of extremes, and one that resonates deeply with our own: mysterious diseases devastate cities, environmental disasters tear lives apart, women habitually suffer violence at the hands of men. In this thrilling new interpretation, female characters take centre stage - Athena, Helen, Circe, Penelope and others weave these stories into elaborate tapestries. With illustrations by Chris Ofili.
