This was such an interesting read. I found myself really having to pay attention but being fully engaged in the storytelling through Hera's eyes, of a story that I otherwise knew very little about besides suitors waiting for Penelope to move on. The storytelling was unique and made slower portions seem interesting, while taking on the inherent sexism of the Greek myths without being cheesy or corny about it.
