About This Item
London: Picador, 2023. Waterstones Signed Exclusive Edition. Signed by the author. Hardback. 291pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. Here we meet Athene, who sprang fully formed from her father's head: goddess of Athens. We run with Artemis, goddess of hunting and protector of young girls (apart from those 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. 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 leads her to wreak elaborate, vicious revenge on those who have wronged her. 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. These goddesses are as mighty, revered and destructive as their male counterparts. Near fine in a near fine, unclipped dust jacket.
