Mythica: A New History of Homer’s World, Through the Women Written Out of It by Emily Hauser
Wow. So when I heard this book was coming out I couldn’t wait, it ticked so many boxes for me but I wasn’t actually near a bookshop on day of publication so decided to get the audiobook. All I’m saying is, now I’ve finished it, I’m also going to get a print copy so I can refer to it.
If you are interested in Homer, and/or mythology, and/or Ancient Greek history and/or gender studies and/or the recent novels reimagining the myths from the female characters’ points of view, then this book is for you. It has something for everyone. It really helps contextualise a lot of information.
Emily Hauser reads the book herself. But for me, the negative of the audio version is that Hauser quotes from other writers, but in the audio it’s not possible to know where or whom the quote is from.
Some other readers have said that Hauser is skewing the information towards females but as she says herself at the end of the book, every history written is subjective. On the other hand, this review from Goodreads nicely summarises my views on the book - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7461864082
5/5: A fascinating and incredibly well researched look into how Bronze Age women lived, loved, and died. Each chapters contains a singular
Highly recommend.

Anyway I redid my Splatoon OCs a bit. Adriana is now a beta fish (if that’s what the violinist from Bottom Feeders is), Caspian got a new tentacle-style (With only 4 tentacles, just like all Octolings we’ve seen in canon so far) and Aegea is kinda a combination of old Octoling-Adriana and Aegea’s old look...
