    About this ebook

    Get a comprehensive overview for Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths by Natalie Haynes for an immediate in-depth dive into the major themes found in this book.
     
    In addition to being a writer and broadcaster, Natalie Louise Haynes, a contributing writer for The Guardian,  is also known as a “rock star mythologist,” according to The Washington Post. She has given talks on the present relevance of the ancient world across three continents, from Europe to North America and Australia. A mainstay in BBC Radio 4, her radio series Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics has aired on the station for six seasons and has garnered a cult following. She has also appeared on three seasons of Wordaholics. She has written book reviews for Front Row and Saturday Review. Her most recent nonfiction book, Pandora’s Jar: Women in the Greek Myth, was released in October 2020.

        Pandora’s Jar: Women in the Greek Myths examines the lives of ten notable women from ancient Greek mythology and how their portrayal has continuously evolved through time. Haynes claims these fabled ladies may have had more complex lives than our conventional retellings imply. This book thoroughly combs through these women’s representations in art and literature to tease out why they are referred to as kalon kakon: a lovely evil.
