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.

So dive into the stories you thought you knew with Bad Girls of Ancient Greece as your illuminating guide
Lizzy Tiffin, with her unique blend of humour and literary prowess, brings to life the untold stories of these bad girls in a collection of essays that are as enlightening as they are entertaining.
