| Natalie Haynes est l'auteur de Les invaincues/A thousand ships , de Pandora's jar et de deux livres que je n'ai pas encore lu: The children of Jocasta et Stone blind qui m'attire fortement Comme Pandora's jar, il ne s'agit pas d'un roman mais d'un recit de différentes personnages de la mythologie grecque. - Citation :
- Natalie Haynes, author of the bestselling Pandora’s Jar, returns to the world of Greek myth and this time she examines the role of the goddesses.
We meet Athene, who sprang fully formed from her father’s head: goddess of war and wisdom, guardian of Athens. We run with Artemis, goddess of hunting and protector of young girls (apart from those she decides she wants as a sacrifice). Here is Aphrodite, goddess of sex and desire – there is no deity more determined and able to make you miserable if you annoy her. And then there’s the queen of all the Olympian gods: Hera, Zeus’s long-suffering wife, whose jealousy of his dalliances with mortals, nymphs and goddesses lead her to wreak elaborate, vicious revenge on those who have wronged her.
We also meet Demeter, goddess of agriculture and mother of the kidnapped Persephone, we sing the immortal song of the Muses and we warm ourselves with Hestia, goddess of the hearth and sacrificial fire. The Furies carry flames of another kind – black fires of vengeance for those who incur their wrath. (source Goodreads) Ce livre me tente beaucoup _________________ |
