Divine Might
In Divine Might Natalie Haynes, author of the bestselling Pandora's Jar, returns to the world of Greek myth and this time she examines the role of the goddesses.<BR><BR>We meet Athene, who sprang fully formed from her father's head: goddess of war and wisdom, guardian of Athens. We run with Artemis, goddess of hunting and protector of young girls (apart from those she decides she wants as a sacrifice). Here is Aphrodite, goddess of sex and desire - there is no deity more determined and able to make you miserable if you annoy her. And then there's the queen of all the Olympian gods: Hera, Zeus's long-suffering wife, whose jealousy of his dalliances with mortals, nymphs and goddesses lead her to wreak elaborate, vicious revenge on those who have wronged her.<BR><BR>We also meet Demeter, goddess of agriculture and mother of the kidnapped Persephone, we sing the immortal song of the Muses and we warm ourselves with Hestia, goddess of the hearth and sacrificial fire. The Furies carry flames of another kind - black fires of vengeance for those who incur their wrath.<BR><BR>These goddesses are as mighty, revered and destructive as their male counterparts. Isn't it time we looked beyond the columns of a ruined temple to the awesome power within?

STONE BLIND - Der Blick der Medusa
Medusa - Schwester, Opfer, Monster?Medusa ist eine der bekanntesten mythologischen Figuren überhaupt - nun erhebt sie endlich selbst ihre Stimme- Clever, elegant und faszinierend macht Natalie Haynes die griechische Sagenwelt lebendig- Für Fans von Madeline Miller und von Retellings antiker MythenMedusa wächst bei ihren Schwestern auf und merkt schnell, dass sie anders ist - eine Sterbliche in einer Familie von Göttern. Von ihrer Schönheit angezogen, bedrängt der Meeresgott Poseidon sie im Tempel der Athene. Die Göttin wähnt ihren Tempel entweiht und lässt ihre Wut an der Unschuldigen aus: Medusa wird in ein Monster mit Schlangenhaaren verwandelt, das kein Lebewesen mehr ansehen kann, ohne es zu Stein erstarren zu lassen. Aus Rücksicht verdammt Medusa sich zu einem Leben in der Einsamkeit. Bis der junge Perseus sich aufmacht, das Haupt eines Ungeheuers zu erlangen...Poetisch und klug erzählt Natalie Haynes die Geschichte einer Frau, die von anderen zum Monster gemacht wird - und sich doch selbst behauptet.'Ich wollte schon lange einmal über Medusa schreiben. Ich hatte das Gefühl, ich schulde ihr einen Roman. Medusas Geschichte ist die eines Monsters, das kein Monster ist. Wir denken immer, sie sei etwas Böses - aber ich habe den Eindruck, dass wir dabei viele Elemente ihrer Geschichte völlig übersehen. Medusa wurde nicht nur gefürchtet, sondern auch geliebt. Etwa von ihren zwei Schwestern. Sollten wir Medusa fürchten? Ganz bestimmt nicht. Ich möchte Medusa ihre Stimme zurückgeben.' Natalie Haynes 'Klug, fesselnd, kompromisslos.' Margaret Atwood (auf Twitter)

Goddesses
Unsterbliche Frauen der klassischen Antike, neu entdecktDie Bestsellerautorin Natalie Haynes nimmt uns mit in die Welt der griechischen Mythologie, zu den Göttinnen des Olymps. Missverständnisse und falsche Darstellungen in Kunst, Literatur und Popkultur verzerren unseren Blick, doch mit diesem Buch sehen wir Frauenfiguren, die wir schon zu kennen meinen, plötzlich in einem ganz neuen Licht. So ist Athene die Göttin des Krieges, wird aber auch für ihren weisen Rat geschätzt. Aphrodite ist die schönste aller Göttinnen, hat jedoch eine rachsüchtige Seite und bestraft jeden hart, der ihr missfällt. Und die drei Furien, die meist auf blutige Vergeltung aus sind, lehren uns überraschenderweise viel über das heutige Leben. Ein feministisches Retelling antiker Erzählungen, das überrascht.

Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2023"Haynes is master of her trade . . . She succeeds in breathing warm life into some of our oldest stories."-Telegraph (UK)The national bestselling author of A Thousand Ships and Pandora's Jar returns with a fresh and stunningly perceptive Greek mythology retelling centered on the story of Medusa, the original monstered woman.They will fear you and flee you and call you a monster.

Writhing snakes replace her hair and her gaze will turn any living creature to stone.

Pandora's Jar
In the many retellings of the Greek myths, the focus is generally on gods and heroes, but Natalie Haynes refocuses our gaze on the remarkable women at the centre of these ancient stories.<BR><BR>'Funny, sharp explications of what these sometimes not-very-nice women were up to!' - Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid's Tale<BR><BR>The Greek myths are among the world's most important cultural building blocks and they have been retold many times, but rarely do they focus on the remarkable women at the heart of these ancient stories.<BR><BR>Now, in Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths, Natalie Haynes - broadcaster, writer and passionate classicist - redresses this imbalance. Taking Pandora and her jar (the box came later) as the starting point, she puts the women of the Greek myths on equal footing with the menfolk.<BR><BR>Stories of gods and monsters are the mainstay of epic poetry and Greek tragedy, from Homer to Aeschylus. But modern tellers of Greek myth have usually been men, and have routinely shown little interest in telling women's stories. And when they do, those women are often painted as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil. But 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.<BR><BR>After millennia of stories telling of gods and men, be they Zeus or Odysseus, the voices that sing from these pages are those of Hera, Athena and Artemis, and of Clytemnestra, Jocasta, Eurydice and Penelope.<BR><BR>'A treasure box of classical delights. Never has ancient misogyny been presented with so much wit and style' - Amanda Foreman, historian<BR><BR>'Natalie Haynes is the nation's muse' - Adam Rutherford, author of A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived
