Pandora – the first woman, who according to legend
unloosed chaos upon the world – was not a villain, and
even Medea and Phaedra have more nuanced stories than
generations of retellings might indicate. Taking Pandora
and her jar (the box came later) as the starting point,
Haynes puts the women of the Greek myths on equal
footing with the menfolk. After millennia of stories telling of
gods and men, be they Zeus or Agamemnon, Paris or
Odysseus, Oedipus or Jason, the voices that sing from
these pages are those of Hera, Athena and Artemis, and of
Clytemnestra, Jocasta, Eurydice and Penelope.
