Divine Might by Natalie Haynes
2.0
slow-paced

despite loving natalie’s books in the past, i found this one to be quite tedious. i enjoyed the discussion of societal issues in ancient greece and how they’re reflected in the goddesses, but a lot of it was mainly summarising classical literature with quips of humour that fell flat. i’d recommend pandora’s jar for more in-depth analysis on women in ancient greece instead of this one.
