Divine Might: Goddesses in Greek Myth

This book is a female-centered look at Olympus and the Furies that focuses on goddesses whose prowess, passions, jealousies, and desires rival those of their male kin, including:

- Athene, the goddess of war and wise counsel, who sprang fully formed from Zeus’s brow.

- Aphrodite, the most beautiful Olympian goddess, epitome of love who dispenses desire and inspires longing, yet harbors a fearsome vengeful side.

- Hera, Zeus’s long-suffering wife, whose jealousy leads her to wreak elaborate revenge on those she believes have wronged her.

- Demeter, goddess of the harvest and mother of Persephone; 

- Artemis, the hunter and goddess of wild spaces. 

- The Muses

- Hestia, goddess of domesticity and sacrificial fire.

Infused with Haynes’s engaging charm and irrepressible wit, this book offers a refreshing take on the legends and stories many cherish.
