Convincing but too broad
4 Sterne
The main message, that reason is a tool and can be used for evil purposes, is abudantly clear. The fine-grained developments on sacrifice, paranoïa... are covering so much ground that I cannot be sure that the reasonings are correct, whatsmore with the immense erudition needed to grasp all the references.
Scott hat Divine Might von Natalie Haynes besprochen
Excellent essays
4 Sterne
9.5 star Yet another great book by Natalie H. This one is a series of essays about goddesses Natalie has not gone in-depth about before. Except for her fav, Athene, who she goes further in-depth on.
But all is well told. As usual, she simultaneously rehabilitates them. AND shines a light on their damning qualities. She doesnt treat the transmogrifications and other odd punishments as "quirky things gods do sometimes". But as the cruel and unusual acts they are, that sometimes are beyond the wrong done.
However, the essays also acknowledge the cruel wrongs done to them. The effects that would have on a person. She also does an excellent job of bringing these stories not only in to context of where they came from, but somehow also into our modern context too. And again, she also excels at reading her own work for the audiobook.
CW: talk of rape, …
