Helen of Troy. Aphrodite. Circe. Penelope. Contrary to popular perception, ancient history is not all about men. Classicist Emily Hauser wants to shine a light on the extraordinary stories of the women behind some of the western worlds greatest epics. Piecing together evidence from the original texts with archaeological finds and scientific studies, Mythica is a ground-breaking reassessment of ancient history.
A book the world has been waiting for... I loved it Bettany Hughes
