CASSANDRA OF TROY - GREAT WOMEN OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY

Cassandra, princess of Troy, is the only person who knows her city is doomed, but no one believes her. Past, present and future jumble together, so she can hardly work out which moment she is living in, let alone save her family and people. It’s nearly impossible for her to untangle fact from fiction. What actually happened with Apollo? Which of the many versions of her brother Paris is the real one? Maybe if she can pin down what’s true, she’ll be able to carve out the least-worst path for those she cares about. GREAT WOMEN OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY is a series of short books for young and old introducing readers to the ancient world through its heroines. Whether simplified adaptations of classic tragedies by Euripides, Aeschylus and Sophocles or original works based on the surviving sources, these books aim to bring readers on a journey filled with excitement, drama, death and love, all while focusing on the women that have played such an important role in our history yet are still remembered as mere bystanders.
