Love this realm, reading this on the tail of finishing Circe by Madeline Miller. Love how each expert digs into the myths and their implications. Ariadne is strong. Phaedra is strong. I was worried at the start when describing Pasiphae the women would all be victims here (which I mean, they all are) but without reprieve or justice or complexity. They have complexity and pride and courage and are also victims of the vanity of men, that is the duality of women.
