Divine Dicks And Mortal Pricks: Greek Myths For Feminists

Divine Dicks and Mortal Pricks: Greek Myths for Feminists takes a sharp, funny look at Ancient Greek myth and epic by shifting the spotlight away from the swaggering “heroes” and onto the women who live with the consequences. Goddesses, nymphs and queens step out from the margins to face unwanted wooing, the fallout of divine tantrums, and the everyday misogyny that’s often treated as background noise in the original tales. With a feminist lens and plenty of irreverence, this retelling asks awkward questions about what counts as heroism, who gets credit for good ideas, and why women’s voices have so often been edited out of the story.
