Description
Get ready to meet the goddesses . . .
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Stone Blind and Pandora's Jar, Natalie Haynes.
These are the stories of the Greek goddesses. As fearsome, powerful and beloved as their male counterparts, it's time to look beyond the columns of a ruined temple to the awesome power within.
We meet Hera, who, whilst most often known for enacting vicious, creative revenge on the women - mortal or otherwise - who catch the wandering eye of her husband Zeus, turns out not to be such a villain after all.
We meet Demeter, a mother who will go to any lengths, no matter the cost, to retrieve her daughter Persephone from Hades' clutches.
We'll be introduced to The Furies, three women who will literally go to the ends of the earth to enact bloody vengeance but who, surprisingly, are the goddesses who can teach us the most about the way we live now.
Examining the role of these goddesses and more, Divine Might will change everything you thought you knew about our most ancient stories. Full of fire, fury and devotion, Natalie Haynes brings the divine women of Olympia kicking and screaming into the modern age.

Es liegt nicht an dir, sondern an mir... Ich wollte es so gerne mögen aber es ist mir einfach nicht gelungen. Ich hab jetzt auch ganze 2 Monate daran gelesen und dabei hat es nur ca 300 Seiten. Ich bin einfach mit falschen Erwartungen hier ran gegangen, ich dachte es wären Kurzgeschichten über einzelne Göttinnen. Dabei waren es eher Essays über deren Geschichten. Leider hat mir da aber der rote Faden gefehlt und es wirkte auf mich so, als hätte die Autorin einfach alles niedergeschrieben was ihr gerade so in den Sinn kam. Vielleicht hätte ich es besser bewerten können, wenn ich bewusst in die Art von Buch rein gegangen wäre. Per se ist es nämlich sicher kein schlechtes Buch, es war nur einfach nichts für mich.
