![]() ![]() The blind poet Homer once told of armies of men, of gods, of monsters, of death and life, joy and pain, and life after death. "A woman’s epic, powerfully imbued with new life, A Thousand Ships puts women, girls, goddesses at the center of the Western world’s greatest tale ever told.” Hers is not just the story of a mighty human or god but is a fiercely feminist story and question, "Which is the more heroic act, the story of a man who loses his wife, or a wife who loses her husband and raises the son alone?” Natalie Haynes, a British classicist has written a story of the Trojan War as it affected women, not just men. ![]() Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian and short listed for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, A Thousand Ships is not the average retelling of Homeric Epics. ![]()
