“Myth remembers Perseus as one of its greatest heroes. A slayer of monsters. A rescuer of damsels. But the women who knew him best have a different story to tell.”
Written by Claire Heywood, “The Shadow of Perseus” is an imaginative reinterpretation of the myth of Perseus told from the perspectives of Danae, Medusa, and Andromeda—three women whose voices have been traditionally sidelined.
