Greek Myths: A New Retelling
by Charlotte Higgins Author and Chris Ofili Illustrator
This retelling of Greek myths reimagines the stories as though they are being woven into textiles by the women central to the narratives, such as Athena, Helen, Circe, and Penelope. It highlights the extreme, often tragic elements of the myths, including family betrayal, love gone wrong, wars, and the harsh realities of loss and suffering. The stories explore themes of human frailty, injustice, and the unpredictable forces of fate, making them resonate with contemporary experiences despite their fantastical elements. By blending the mythical with the deeply human, the retelling emphasizes the enduring power of these ancient tales to reflect the extremes of human emotion and experience. Through this lens, the myths continue to offer insight into the timeless aspects of the human condition.
