书籍简介

当今，很少有作家能比受人尊敬的畅销书作家娜塔莉-海恩斯更能重塑我们对古希腊神话的看法。《神威》以女性为中心，描写了奥林匹斯山和复仇女神，重点描写了仙女们的能力、激情、嫉妒和欲望，她们的能力、激情、嫉妒和欲望可与男性相媲美：

雅典娜（Athene），她从父亲的眉心中完全萌发（让宙斯头疼不已），是战争的女神，也是智慧的提供者。

阿佛洛狄忒，由泡沫（和泰坦被阉割的睾丸释放出的精子）孕育而生，是奥林匹斯所有仙女中美丽的一位，她是爱的缩影，散发着欲望，激发着渴望--但也隐藏着可怕的复仇一面，对那些让她不高兴的人施以残酷的惩罚。

赫拉，宙斯长期忍耐的妻子，因宙斯多次与凡人、仙女和其他仙女发生关系而产生的嫉妒，导致她对那些她认为对不起她的人进行精心策划的、常常是痛苦的报复。

德墨忒尔是丰收的仙女，也是珀耳塞福涅的母亲；阿尔忒弥斯是猎人，也是野外的仙女；缪斯是宙斯的九个女儿，也是记忆的仙女；赫斯提亚是家务和祭祀之火的仙女。

Few writers today have reshaped our view of the ancient Greek myths more than revered bestselling author Natalie Haynes. Divine Might is a female-centered look at Olympus and the Furies, focusing on the nymphs whose prowess, passions, jealousies, and desires rival those of their male kin, including:

Athene, who sprang fully formed from her father’s brow (giving Zeus a killer headache in the process), the nymph of war and provider of wise counsel.

Aphrodite, born of the foam (and sperm released from a Titan’s castrated testicles), the most beautiful of all the Olympian nymph, the epitome of love who dispenses desire and inspires longing—yet harbors a fearsome vengeful side, doling out brutal punishments to those who displease her.

Hera, Zeus’s long-suffering wife, whose jealousy born of his repeated dalliances with mortals, nymphs, and other nymphs, leads her to wreak elaborate and often painful revenge on those she believes have wronged her. (Well, wouldn’t you?)

Demeter, nymphs of the harvest and mother of Persephone; Artemis, the hunter and nymphs of wild spaces; the Muses, the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the nymphs of memory; and Hestia, nymphs of domesticity and sacrificial fire.
