Description
The guide to the baddies that started it all… Bad Girls of Ancient Greece contains profiles of wayward wives, mad mothers, scandalous sisters and damsels that, quite frankly, caused others a lot of stress in the ancient world.
Written with humour and sass, Lizzy Tiffin profiles the women in Greek myth and legend—mortals, goddesses, titans, nymphs (you name it, she’s done it). Here you’ll find the weird and wonderful escapades of the women we’re often led to believe were minor characters.
Bad Girls of Ancient Greece is an accessible, intelligent, hilarious (sometimes spicy) guide to the women we love and know – Athena, Medusa, Aphrodite – and also those we may not, like Polyphonte, who was cursed with burning hot lust for a wild bear… imagine!
With the ever-growing popularity of mythological retellings, Lizzy Tiffin has written the guide to all of the baddies of ancient Greece. This book stands as a reminder that we really have been badasses since the start. So dive into the stories you thought you knew with Bad Girls of Ancient Greece as your illuminating guide…
