Divine Dicks and Mortal Pricks: Greek Myths for Feminists

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.
