Cons of reading this as an audiobook: too many characters to keep in check, so I sometimes forgot whose story we were in.
This was a fine collection of different greek myths, nothing too amazing, although I liked the anchoring of the stories to the act of weaving, quite unique.

Greek Myths: A New Retelling follows several women from the Greek legends and lore. Some are more famous such as Helen, Circe, and Penelope, yet some are less discussed, such as Philomela. Utilizing the historic significance of tapestries, each woman tells their story and those of others through the symbolic weaving of tapestry.
One thing I would know before reading is that the Greek Myths are not following the singular progression of a character, like Pat Barkers Silence of the Girls or Madeline Millers, Circe. Instead it is the lives of many, human/immortal, hero/villain.
In this amazing collection of perspectives, the women are given a change to change the world with their art. Is there anything more amazing then that?
