MYTHICA (HB)

Contrary to perceptions built up over three millennia, ancient history is not all about men – and it's not only men's stories that deserve to be told. In Mythica Emily Hauser tells, for the first time, the extraordinary stories of the real women behind some of the western world’s greatest legends. Following in their footsteps, digging into the history behind Homer’s epic poems, piecing together evidence from the original texts, recent archaeological finds and the latest DNA studies, she reveals who these women were, how they lived, and how history has (or has not – until now) remembered them.
