New York Times  bestselling author Natalie Haynes returns to the world of ancient Greek myth in this scintillating follow-up to  Pandora’s Jar. Few writers today have reshaped our view of the ancient Greek myths more than revered bestselling author Natalie Haynes.  Divine Might  is a female-centered look at Olympus and the Furies, focusing on the goddesses whose prowess, passions, jealousies, and desires rival those of their male kin, including: Athene , who sprang fully formed from her father’s brow (giving Zeus a killer headache in the process), the goddess of war and provider of wise counsel. - Aphrodite , born of the foam (and sperm released from a Titan’s castrated testicles), the most beautiful of all the Olympian goddesses, the epitome of love who dispenses desire and inspires longing—yet harbors a fearsome vengeful side, doling out brutal punishments to those who displease her. - Hera , Zeus’s long-suffering wife, whose jealousy born of his repeated dalliances with mortals, nymphs, and other goddesses, leads her to wreak elaborate and often painful revenge on those she believes have wronged her. (Well, wouldn’t you?) - Demeter , goddess of the harvest and mother of Persephone; Artemis , the hunter and goddess of wild spaces; the Muses , the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne , the goddess of memory; and Hestia , goddess of domesticity and sacrificial fire. Infused with Haynes’s engaging charm and irrepressible wit,  Divine Might  is a refreshing take on the legends and stories we thought we knew. “Natalie Haynes is both a witty and an erudite guide. She wears her extensive learning lightly and deftly drags the Classics into the modern world. I loved it.”  - Kate Atkinson on Pandora's Jar "Throughout, Haynes also notes that these often outlandish retellings and related tropes have become (flawed) inspirations for works of modern art, music, and film, including the original Star Trek series, an episode of The Simpsons , Pulp Fiction , and a music video by Beyoncé. . . . Readers of all levels of knowledge are certain to be enthralled with her analysis and find her humor and wit captivating. A fun and informative addition to the ongoing consideration of ancient mythology." - Kirkus Reviews on Pandora's Jar “The lighthearted tone and humor will keep even those already familiar with Greek mythology entertained through lengthy recaps of various legends, making the stories fresh and accessible for a new generation. The result is a fun take on Greek myth.” - Publishers Weekly “Funny, sharp explications of what these sometimes not-very-nice women were up to, and how they sometimes made idiots of . . . but read on!”  - Margaret Atwood on Pandora's Jar Natalie Haynes is the author of eight books, including the nonfiction work Pandora’s Jar, which was a New York Times bestseller, and the novels A Thousand Ships, which was a national bestseller and short-listed for the 2020 Women’s Prize for Fiction, and Stone Blind.
