Una mirada inteligente y bien elaborada sobre algunas de las más conocidas diosas griegas. Un análisis sobre su influencia en la cultura, el arte, la música y el cine de la actualidad. Natalie Haynes regresa a la no ficcion en este libro, que toca la historia de varias diosas griegas populares, explorando sus origenes y contrastandolos con otros mitos que se conocen de ellas. Si bien sigue el formato de La jarra de pandora, en esta ocasion se enfoca mucho mas en intentar que el lector empatice con las diosas y pueda sentirse identificado con ellas. Por ejemplo, la autora logra mostrarnos otro enfoque sobre Hera y Demeter, a pesar de que la cultura popular a veces nos las muestra de manera negativa, o destacar la importancia de Hestia.

As chief advisor to the emperor Nero, Lucius Annaeus Seneca was most influential in ancient Rome as a power behind the throne. His lasting fame derives from his writings on Stoic ideology, in which philosophy is a practical form of self-improvement rather than a matter of argument or wordplay. Senecas letters to a young friend advise action rather than reflection, addressing the issues that confront every generation: how to achieve a good life; how to avoid corruption and self-indulgence; and how to live without fear of death. Written in an intimate, conversational style, the letters reflect the traditional Stoic focus on living in accordance with nature and accepting the world on its own terms. The philosopher emphasizes the Roman values of courage, self-control, and rationality, yet he remains remarkably modern in his tolerant and cosmopolitan attitude. Rich in epigrammatic wit, Senecas interpretation of Stoicism constitutes a timeless and inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind.

EL VERDADERO PAPEL DE LA MUJER EN LOS ANTIGUOS MITOS GRIEGOS.Los mitos griegos, protagonizados por divinidades, héroes, heroínas y monstruos, son una de las fuentes culturales más fértiles de la civilizacion occidental. Y como tradicion, todas sus historias tienen diferentes versiones y variantes que cambian y evolucionan a lo largo del tiempo. En esta obra tan lucida como mordaz, Natalie Haynes analiza esta transmision de las narraciones en manos masculinas que, con monotona frecuencia, excluye de la ecuacion a las mujeres. A partir de una serie de grandes protagonistas femeninas de la mitologia griega, Haynes recupera las raices sobre las que se asentaron sus historias para explicarlas en todo su alcance y entender por que se distorsionaron algunos de los elementos que conformaban sus hazañas. El resultado es un extraordinario y riguroso relato que subsana los descuidos y excesos, y pone a estas heroinas en su original y merecido lugar.
