What to expect

You’ve heard all about the ‘brilliant men’ of ancient myth, but what about the scheming and scandalous women who were so often lost in their shadow?

Bad Girls of Ancient Greece contains profiles of wayward wives, mad mothers, scandalous sisters and damsels, that quite frankly, caused others A LOT of stress in the ancient world.

With the ever-growing popularity of mythological retellings, Lizzy Tiffin has written THE guide to all of the baddies of ancient Greece. This book stands as a reminder that us women really have been bad – in the best way possible – from the start.

Written with humour and sass, Lizzy profiles the women in Greek myth and legend covering: mortals, goddesses, titans, nymphs (you name it, she’s done it). Here you’ll find the weird and wonderful escapades of the women we’re often lead to believe were minor characters.

Bad Girls of Ancient Greece is an accessible, intelligent, hilarious (sometimes spicy) guide to the women we love and know – Athena, Medusa, Aphrodite – and also those we may not, like Polyphonte, who was cursed with burning hot lust for a wild bear … imagine!

So dive into the stories you thought you knew with Bad Girls of Ancient Greece as your illuminating guide…

Critics Review

‘An entertaining and enlightening guide to Greek mythology with an emphasis on the female perspective. Bad Girls of Ancient Greece is a riotous romp through the tales of the classical world’ Luna McNamara author of Psyche and Eros

‘A fun, new twist on all aspects of femininity in the Greek myths! Overlooked for so many centuries, it feels like all the bad (and not so bad) girls of Greek mythology are marching down and ‘ringing their own bells’. This is indeed a very empowering book!’ Theodore Papakostas, author of the international bestseller How to Fit All of Ancient Greece in an Elevator
