Poetic retellings of the stories of the greatest Greek goddesses and demi-goddesses, from Medusa to Circe to Athena. 
 
Nikita Gill is a writer and poet who has amassed a huge following on social media, drawn to both the personal and poetic power of her writing. In this book, subtitled Life lessons from myths and monsters, Gill turns her creative eye to Greek mythology, presenting its stories afresh in vivid prose and verse poetry. The book begins with Chaos herself, the goddess before the beginning of the world; then the reader is taken through the creation, from the earliest goddesses such as Eurynome and Nyx, to the Trojan mythos and its most important figures – Penelope, Hecuba, and Helen of Troy, among many others. Readers with a passion for Greek mythology will no doubt find new ways to think about old stories in this stimulating collection.
