About this Event
We are delighted to have Emily Hauser and Jennifer Saint joining us on the 19th of March to celebrate the paperback release of Mythica!
Award-winning classicist and historian Emily Hauser takes readers on an epic journey to uncover the astonishing true story of the real women behind ancient Greece’s greatest legends, and the real heroes of those ancient epics, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey...
A riveting new history of the Bronze Age Aegean and a journey through Homer’s epics charted entirely by women – from Helen of Troy, Briseis, Cassandra and Aphrodite to Circe, Athena, Hera, Calypso and Penelope - Mythica is a ground-breaking reassessment of the reality behind the often-mythologized women of Greece’s greatest epics, and of the ancient world itself as we learn ever more about it.
This event will consist of 45 minutes of conversation between Emily Hauser and Jennifer Saint, followed by 15 minutes of audience questions and then a signing.
