Mythica : A New History of Homers World, Through the Women Written Out of It by Emily Hauser

In Mythica Emily Hauser tells, for the first time, the extraordinary stories of the real women behind some of the western worlds greatest legends. Following in their footsteps, digging into the history behind Homers epic poems, piecing together evidence from the original texts, recent astonishing archaeological finds and the latest DNA studies, she reveals who these women queens, mothers, warriors, slaves were, how they lived, and how history has (or has not until now) remembered them.
