Bestselling author Natalie Haynes returns to the world of Greek myth she so wittily explored in Pandora's Jar and turns her focus on Olympus itself--not on the gods, who have had far more attention than they deserve over the millennia since these stories were first told, but on the goddesses. Here we meet Athene; Aphrodite; Hera; Demeter; Artemis; the Muses, all nine of them; Gaia; and Hestia.
