This book contains profiles of wayward wives, mad mothers, scandalous sisters, and damsels that, quite frankly, caused others a lot of stress in the ancient world. With the ever-growing popularity of mythological retellings, Lizzy Tiffin has written the guide to all of the baddies of ancient Greece. This book stands as a reminder that us women really have been bad - in the best way possible - from the start. Lizzy profiles the women in Greek myth and legend covering: mortals, goddesses, titans, nymphs (you name it, she's done it). Here you'll find the weird and wonderful escapades of the women we're often led to believe were minor characters. Bad Girls of Ancient Greece is an accessible, intelligent, hilarious (sometimes spicy) guide to the women we love and know - Athena, Medusa, Aphrodite - and also those we may not, like Polyphonte, who was cursed with burning hot lust for a wild bear... imagine! So dive into the stories you thought you knew...
