Get ready to meet the goddesses  from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Stone Blind and
Pandora's Jar  Natalie Haynes.   These are the stories of the Greek goddesses. As fearsome 
powerful and beloved as their male counterparts  it's time to look beyond the columns of a
ruined temple to the awesome power within . . .   We meet Hera   who  whilst most often known
for enacting vicious  creative revenge on the women - mortal or otherwise - who catch the
wandering eye of her husband Zeus  turns out not to be such a villain after all.   We meet
Demeter   a mother who will go to any lengths  no matter the cost  to retrieve her daughter
Persephone from Hades' clutches.   We'll be introduced to The Furies   three women who will
literally go to the ends of the earth to enact bloody vengeance but who  surprisingly  are the
goddesses who can teach us the most about the way we live now.  Examining the role of these
goddesses and more  Divine Might will change everything you thought you knew about our most
ancient stories. Full of fire  fury and devotion  Natalie Haynes brings the divine women of
Olympia kicking and screaming into the modern age.   'The great champion of women in Greek myth
. . . One of the delights of the book is that Haynes reacquaints us with forgotten goddesses' -
