Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics vor 2 Jahren

Predator, hunter, archer, daughter of Zeus, queen of wild creatures: the goddess Artemis.

Natalie stands up for the goddess Artemis. She's a predator, a
hunter, an archer. Goddess of wild creatures, the moon to her
brother Apollo's sun, she's not averse to the odd human
sacrifice. And if you forget her in your prayers, she's liable to
send a really big pig to dig up your orchards.

'Rock star mythologist’ and reformed stand-up Natalie Haynes is
obsessed with the ancient world. Here she explores key stories
from ancient Rome and Greece that still have resonance today.
They might be biographical, topographical, mythological or epic,
but they are always hilarious, magical and tragic, mystifying and
revelatory. And they tell us more about ourselves now than seems
possible of stories from a couple of thousand years ago.
