Nationally bestselling author of Daughters of Sparta Claire Heywood returns with an imaginative and female-centered reinterpretation of the myth of the great hero Perseus, told through the voices of three women who are sidelined in the traditional version—his mother, Danae; his trophy, Medusa; and his wife, Andromeda—but whose viewpoints reveal a man who is not, in fact, a hero at all.

Ability to make it human
Reviewed: 12-09-24
I love how Heywood is able to take such popular and well known mythology and make it human. What if the gods didn’t interfere? What decisions by people would have led to the paths that are so well known? Great storyteller and always fun to hear another great retelling.
