About THE LOST DAUGHTER OF SPARTA:
Helen of Troy. Clytemnestra. Timandra. Three sisters, infamously cursed by the goddess Aphrodite to betray their husbands, are known the world over. But few know about the fourth sister: Philonoe. Lost to historical record, all we know from ancient texts is that she avoided the curse placed on her family, and was granted immortality by the goddess Artemis. But why and how did this happen?
Now, Felicia Day is determined to bring Philonoe to vivid life and fill in the missing pieces with this graphic novel retelling. Her story is a traditional hero’s journey with a feminist twist. Born as both a Spartan princess and with a wine-stain birthmark on her face, Philonoe is destined for a different fate than her sisters. Her remarkable but overlooked life is finally revealed in this clever and engaging graphic novel that is perfect for fans of The Palace of Eros and Lore Olympus.
Felicia Day is a prolific multi-hyphenate. She’s the New York Times bestselling author of You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) and the creativity book Embrace Your Weird, and she recently wrote the Audible series Third Eye, which won the 2024 Audie Award for Best Audio Drama.
She has appeared as an actor in numerous television shows, including Supernatural, Eureka, and The Magicians, and she can be heard as a voice actor in such shows as Adventure Time and Monster High.
Perhaps best known for her work in the web-video world, Felicia costarred in the Emmy-winning internet musical sensation Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. She also created and starred in the seminal series The Guild, which ran for six seasons, won numerous awards for excellence, and spawned a hit comic book series with Dark Horse. Recently, her costume from The Guild was added to the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, representing her success as a woman in a male-dominated field.
