Pandora, Penelope, Helen, Medea, Sappho, Lysistrata: ancient figures, yet still capable of speaking to the present of love, desire, pain, and justice. Giulio Guidorizzi (Women of Greece. Female Voices of Myth Speaking in the Present, Rizzoli) opens sixteen windows onto the ancient world and brings us strong, controversial, rebel, or victimized women, each accompanied by ancient texts and an image that describes them. A journey through myth, literature, and history, to discover that behind every legendary figure lies a question that concerns us all. With him is Michela Ferrero.
