About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

In this spellbinding new collection, Charlotte Higgins reinterprets some of the most enduring stories of all time.

Here are myths of the creation, of Heracles and Theseus and Perseus, the Trojan war and its origins and aftermaths, tales of Thebes and Argos and Athens. There are stories of love and desire, adventure and magic, destructive gods, helpless humans, fantastical creatures, resourceful witches and the origins of birds and animals. This is a world of extremes and one that resonates deeply with our own: mysterious diseases devastate cities; environmental disasters tear lives apart; women habitually suffer violence at the hands of men.

Unlike in many previous collected myths, female characters take centre stage - Athena, Helen, Circe, Penelope and others weave these stories into elaborate imagined tapestries. In Charlotte Higgins' thrilling new interpretation, their tales combine to form a dazzling, sweeping epic of storytelling and a magnificent work of scholarship and imagination.

Enchanting

What a beautiful retelling of so many beautiful myths all woven together in such a brilliant and unique way. I’m quite familiar with Greek mythology and I adored this retelling. I think others who might not be quite as familiar will also find this fascinating and beautiful.
