Hera Greek Myths Retold #2
A Goddess Scorned
Hera returns with her side of the Greek myths! For fans of Natalie Haynes, Jennifer Saint, Madeleine Miller and Pat Barker.
The Queen is back … and she’s out for revenge…
The Goddess Hera, Queen of Olympos, has endured thousands of years of lies being spread about her. And now she is ready to set the record straight.
The Muses were employed by Hera’s brother-husband Zeus to craft a narrative that makes him a hero – and makes Hera a deceiver and a harlot.
But Queen Hera is sick of history favouring controlling men and demeaning the women suffering beside them.
As the patron goddess of women, marriage, and motherhood, it is Hera alone who can set the record straight and redeem her reputation – and the reputation of many women like her – from the slander that has so far been spread.
What really happened under Zeus’s rule? What part did Hera play?
And how did she really feel about the great King of the Gods…?
A GODDESS SCORNED is the second book in the HERA Greek Myths Retold Series. It is an exciting historical adventure set during the time of myth and legend in Ancient Greece.

Having loved mythology of all kinds since childhood, I thoroughly enjoy the rebirth of Greek mythology as viewed through a female lens. What a difference changing the point of view makes in these ancient tales. The familiar stories of Persephone, Athena, and Hercules are in this second book of the series but there are also lesser-known stories of mythical beings that were new to me. I love this soul-searching that Hera is experiencing as she questions her role as the Queen of Heaven. In a patriarchy, what does that even mean? If she sounds too modern, I think the premise works because what it means to be female hasn't changed in a millennium, even if one is a goddess. I look forward to the release of the next book in the series.

Hera I hardly knew ye lol
Well who knew that such an enchanting story of Greek gods & goddesses could be so informative and entertaining? Two thumbs way up on this one. If you like pronouncing their formal Greek god names, have at it! I adore this tale.
