Ancient Myths and Legends Without Men: Reclaiming the Stories of Mythology's Most Iconic Women, Goddesses, and Female Monsters
內容簡介
在這本大膽且充滿力量的插畫作品中,你將認識那些從一開始就塑造並顛覆「女性形象」的女神、戰士、女巫與怪物——這本書非常適合《Circe》的讀者。
瑟西真的只是個誘惑者嗎?
亞馬遜女戰士真的只是嗜血的戰鬥民族嗎?
而雅典娜,真的如人們所說,是古代女性需要的典範嗎?
在《沒有男人的古代神話與傳說》中,古典學專家 Mara Gold 將焦點重新放回那些處於世界最長久流傳神話核心的女性角色身上。從希臘與羅馬神話,到來自世界各地的傳說,這本嶄新且帶有女性主義視角的作品,為梅杜莎、希拉、珀瑟芬等經典人物投射出全新的光芒,揭示她們一直以來所擁有的力量、複雜性與自主性。
全書配有生動插畫,文字清晰而機智。《沒有男人的古代神話與傳說》是神話愛好者,以及所有渴望用嶄新視角重新理解這些故事的讀者必讀之作。這些女性從來不只是配角——現在,是她們站上舞台中央的時候了。
Meet the goddesses, warriors, witches, and monsters who shaped and subverted womanhood from the very beginning in this this bold, empowering illustrated collection perfect for fans of New York Times bestseller Circe.
Was Circe really just a temptress? Were the Amazons nothing more than bloodthirsty fighters? And was Athena truly the role model ancient women needed?
In Ancient Myths and Legends Without Men, expert classicist Mara Gold recenters the women at the heart of some of the world’s most enduring myths. From Greek and Roman legends to tales from around the globe, this fresh, feminist take shines a new light on iconic figures like Medusa, Hera, and Persephone, revealing the power, complexity, and agency they’ve always had. Vibrantly illustrated and told with clarity and wit, Ancient Myths and Legends Without Men is a must-read for mythology lovers and anyone eager to revisit these stories through a new lens. These women were never just supporting characters—it’s time they took the spotlight.
