1. Nope. There are no heroes in humankind. If you'd like a better worded answer, take a look at @The_Pennilesss_Author 's post!
2. Done. Can highly recommend this. It offers great illustrations and a slightly feminist look on the Ancient Greeks, which you don't find too often.
birthday haul! my people know me 🥰
REALMS OF IMAGINATION (companion book to a British Library exhibit)
MYTHOS, HEROES, and TROY by Stephen Fry
pickIf you love Greek mythology, sarcasm, and studying the classics from a feminist POV, this one is for you. I loved every second of this dive into the stories of the goddesses. Haynes doesn't shy away from painful stories, but she manages to bring humor to the book as well. The section on Persephone‘s kidnapping (pictured) is heartbreaking. I'm off to read the rest of her books now and I can't believe I‘ve missed her work so far!
My Christmas sales books - 2/2
I love a bit of Greek myth, me.
I'm listening to the latest Natalie Haynes (who is brilliant) while working on my 2024 reading #bujo. If you can't tell by the tail, Tommy is helping. 😁
pickA fascinating look at the myths and traditions around rivers and seas. I do enjoy these books. There's so many interesting stories and beliefs. 4* second book finished for #NovelNovember
