Greek Myths is a spellbinding, complete and innovative retelling of the some of the oldest and greatest tales of all time Unlike in many previous collected myths, female characters take centre stage - Athena, Helen, Circe, Penelope and others weave these stories into elaborate imagined tapestries. In Charlotte Higgins’s thrilling new interpretation, their tales combine to form a dazzling, sweeping epic of storytelling, and a magnificent work of scholarship and imagination. Turner prizewinning artist Chris Ofili’s original drawings inspired by Charlotte Higgins’ text appear on the cover and throughout the book, which you can get a peek of over @jonathancape.

The cover drawing is a detail taken from the work ‘The Judgement of Paris’. Greek Myths is available from today.
