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.
