From the face that launched a thousand ships, to the gaze that turned men to stone – the women of Greek myths are the subject of Natalie Haynes’s latest book, Pandora’s Jar. If you’ve ever wondered whether Helen really started the Trojan War, or how Medusa got a head full of snakes, or what Pandora’s box was all about, Haynes is the person to ask. The British classicist, novelist and stand-up comedian goes back to the ancient original sources to rediscover these and other legendary women, whose stories have too often been forgotten or misrepresented.
