Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths

by Natalie Haynes

A witty, feminist reexamination of Greek mythology that reclaims the stories of maligned women like Pandora, Medusa, and Helen of Troy. Haynes dismantles patriarchal interpretations and restores complexity to figures often reduced to archetypes of temptation or monstrosity. Sharp, scholarly, and deeply accessible.
