Have you heard about the "brilliant men" of ancient mythology, but what about the devilish and scandalous women who are often lost in their shadow?

Bad Girls of Ancient Greece features profiles of disobedient wives, crazy mothers, scandalous sisters, and brides who, frankly, caused others a LOT of stress in the ancient world.

With the ongoing popularity of mythological retellings, Lizzy Tiffin has written the GUIDE to all the bad girls of ancient Greece. This book is a reminder that women were truly bad – in the best way possible – from the beginning.

Written with humor and satire, Lizzy profiles the women in Greek mythology and legends, covering: mortals, goddesses, titans, nymphs (you name it, she's done it). Here you will find the curious and wondrous adventures of women we often consider secondary characters.

Bad Girls of Ancient Greece is an accessible, smart, and funny (sometimes spicy) guide to the women we love and know – Athena, Medusa, Aphrodite – but also those we may not know, like Polyphonte, who was cursed with a fierce desire for a wild bear... imagine!
