I, Athena & the Brave Women of Olympia (vol. IX)

There were some women in the Ancient World as well – Athena & Co. spill the beans!

Athena, goddess of wisdom and bravery, is absolutely fuming. The men always insist on making all the decisions, ruling over everything and bragging about their adventures – just look at grumpy old Zeus or Odysseus, the trickster. She’s had enough! After all, there are just as many clever women in ancient Greece, who have gone on exciting adventures and performed courageous deeds! So Athena has summoned some of the wisest and bravest of them: crafty Aphrodite, fearless Antigone, selfless Baukis, determined Atalante, athletic Kydippe. Now they are the ones who will write history and tell of their heroic deeds ...

  • Finally, the women of ancient Greece have their say!
  • Ancient myths come to life – inspiring children and parents alike
  • Exciting knowledge + humour + fresh, friendly illustrations
