THE INSTANT TIMES BESTSELLER
Award-winning classicist and historian Emily Hauser takes readers on an epic journey to uncover the astonishing true story of the real women behind ancient Greece's greatest legends, and the real heroes of those ancient epics, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey . . .
'Bold and intellectually thrilling... blending history and science, rigorous scholarship and dazzling feats of imagination.' - TOM HOLLAND, historian and co-host of 'The Rest is History' podcast
'Absolutely blew me away... rich, evocative and original work... this book is quite wonderful.' - ELODIE HARPER, author of The Wolf Den
'Offers a dazzling new way of thinking about the ancient world... a wonderful, beautifully written and important book.' DAN JONES, author of Henry V
'A book the world has been waiting for... I loved it.' - BETTANY HUGHES, author of The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
Contrary to perceptions built up over three millennia, ancient history is not all about men – and it's not only men's stories that deserve to be told.
In Mythica Emily Hauser tells, for the first time, the extraordinary stories of the real women behind some of the western world's greatest legends. Following in their footsteps, digging into the history behind Homer's epic poems, piecing together evidence from the original texts, recent astonishing archaeological finds and the latest DNA studies, she reveals who these women – queens, mothers, warriors, slaves – were, how they lived, and how history has (or has not – until now) remembered them.
A riveting new history of the Bronze Age Aegean and a journey through Homer's epics charted entirely by women – from Helen of Troy, Briseis, Cassandra and Aphrodite to Circe, Athena, Hera, Calypso and Penelope – Mythica is a ground-breaking reassessment of the reality behind the often-mythologized women of Greece's greatest epics, and of the ancient world itself as we learn ever more about it.
