otrops reviewed The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood (Myths)
Review of 'The Penelopiad' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
A fantastic re-imagining of The Odyssey from Penelope's point of view. Atwood is brilliant as always. She cleverly has Penelope retell the story in the underworld. This means Penelope is able to comment not only on ancient Greek culture but on our current cultural oddities as well.
