En mi escuela nos ponen a leer un libro por mes, y este libro me impresionó, tiene una historia buena, personajes desarrollados, y una redacción entendible que hace que te adentres más en el libro, pero en los capítulos pasan cosas que hacen que te distraigas un poco del tema central.
Recomiendo este libro para personas entre 9 - 15 años.

#roll100 An interesting take on the well known tale of Penelope waiting for Odysseus to return from the Trojan War. Soft pick for me

„Sing Muse, he said. Now do you hear me? I sang“ ~ Muse of epic poetry

Haynes spoke through Calliope and gave a voice to the broken women of Troy. It was nice to read the voice of the women in this war, I can only recommend it.

I remember first reading the scene with Clytemnestra in the Iliad and thinking WTAF!! 🤬 (i wont say why because spoilers) I couldnt believe that the narrative continued on barely acknowledging the abuse (imo) - so i was always going to read this book. It‘s engaging and propulsive but dark and violent too. Women in the myths were horribly mistreated and misrepresented - I‘m glad to see a retelling that puts Clytemnestra‘s experience first.

Centique It‘s an easy read so dont be put off if you havent read The Iliad. If you enjoyed Song of Achilles you‘ll probably enjoy this too i think. (edited) 3w
LoverOfLearning LOVED THIS BOOK 📖 ❤️ 3w
LoverOfLearning @Centique The Song of Achilles is my most reread book. No real reason but I've read it 4 times once each summer. Just love it. 3w

Centique @LoverOfLearning I really enjoyed it - but as i approached that scene i got a little hesitant about picking the book back up! Worth it though. 3w

Saw Hadestown this afternoon. Loved it! Does anyone have any recommendations for novels with Hades, Persephone, Orpheus or Eurydice?

CBee If you like graphic novels/comics, Lore Olympus is a great retelling of the Hades/Persephone myth! 3w
Sparklemn @CBee I‘ll put it on my list. Thanks! 3w

The book begins with a journey into mysticism, but soon pulls you into the heartache of an abandoned daughter, a lovesick soul, and a mother who is both delicate and fierce. She alchemized her pain into profound knowledge, but the world couldn‘t understand it, calling her a witch. Yet, she wore the label like a crown 👑, owning it with the strength and dignity of a queen. 🔮
