This lively and innovative portrayal of a fascinating woman raises the question of who wins (and how) in the competition for academic fame. Mary Beard captures Harrison's ability to create her own image.

An NATO und Warschauer Pakt erinnert die Konstellation zwischen Attischem Seebund und Peloponnesischem Bund: Hier eine Organisation demokratischer Staaten, die sich über ein Meer spannt, dort eine Allianz autokratischer Staaten, die weitgehend einen Block auf dem Land bildet. Beide Vereinigungen werden von einer einzelnen Supermacht dominiert, die ihr politisches System überall durchsetzen will – auch mit robusten Methoden. Die Konfrontation endet zum Glück anders: Nach dem modernen Kalten Krieg triumphierten die Demokratien.

A görög mitológia történeteinek folytatása sem kevésbé szórakoztató, mint az első rész. Megtudhatjuk többek között, hogy miért kellett Sziszüphosznak bűnhődnie, vagy hogy milyen átok sújtotta Midász királyt. A szerző a maga humoros módján rávilágít, a görög istenek olyanok, mint mi. Erősebbek és bölcsebbek ugyan, de közben ugyanolyan esendőek, és ballépéseikkel, felfokozott szerelmi életükkel, veszekedéseikkel bármikor képesek felforgatni az isteni és az emberi világot.
