Greek myths : a new retelling / Charlotte Higgins ; drawings by Chris Ofili.
'Greek Myths' is a brilliantly original, landmark retelling of Greek myths, recounted as if they were actual scenes being woven into textiles by the women who feature prominently in them. While not explicitly feminist, these retellings aim to shift the focus away from traditional versions, which emphasize the tribulations and triumphs of male heroes.
