Divine Dicks and Mortal Pricks: Greek Myths for Feminists

by Walburga Appleseed - £12.99  HarperCollins Publishers (2024)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780008664053 | ISBN 10: 0008664056

This is a book about divine dicks, mortal pricks, and some epically long-suffering women. The Ancient Greek myths and epics have spent the last few thousand years focusing on all the testosterone and willy-waving that their so-called heroes got up to. Now, at long last, it’s time to shine a light on the goddesses, nymphs and queens who had to endure all that unwanted wooing, the wrath of vengeful gods, and a lot of straight-up misogyny without complaint – or at least none that was considered worth noting.
 
Is it really heroic to start a war just because the girl you like fancies someone else? And seriously, when will men stop fobbing off women's ideas as their own?
 
These are the Greek myths as you’ve never heard them before.
