Overview
Una magistral historia del mundo antiguo contada por primera vez a través de mujeres artistas, líderes y creadoras de la historia.
Durante siglos, la historia del mundo clásico ha sido relatada a través de emperadores, reyes y señores de la guerra, relegando a un segundo plano las personalidades femeninas que también lo conformaron. En La venganza de Pandora, la clasicista Daisy Dunn se propone revertir esta tradición para situar a las mujeres en el centro de la narrativa.
Por las siguientes páginas desfilan personajes conocidos como Cleopatra, Agripina o Safo, seguidas por otras artistas, escritoras y líderes como Artemisia, la única mujer comandante en las guerras greco-persas; Cynisca, la primera mujer ganadora en los Juegos Olímpicos o Fulvia, la esposa de Marco Antonio que libró una guerra en su nombre, además de muchas otras de las que desconocemos su nombre, pero de una forma u otra marcaron en curso de la historia.
A lo largo de tres mil años, desde la Creta minoica hasta la Grecia micénica, desde Lesbos hasta el Asia Menor, desde el Imperio Persa hasta la corte real de Macedonia, y concluyendo en el Imperio romano, Daisy Dunn nos muestra el mundo antiguo a través de la mirada del increíble elenco de mujeres que lo conformó.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A masterful story of the ancient world told for the first time through women artists, leaders, and creators of history.
For centuries, the history of the classical world has been told through emperors, kings, and warlords, relegating to the background the female personalities who also shaped it. In Pandora's Revenge, the classicist Daisy Dunn seeks to reverse this tradition by placing women at the center of the narrative.
The following pages feature well-known figures such as Cleopatra, Agrippina, or Sappho, followed by other artists, writers, and leaders like Artemisia, the only female commander in the Greco-Persian wars; Cynisca, the first female winner in the Olympic Games, or Fulvia, the wife of Mark Antony who waged a war in his name, as well as many others whose names we do not know, but who in one way or another marked the course of history.
Over three thousand years, from Minoan Crete to Mycenaean Greece, from Lesbos to Asia Minor, from the Persian Empire to the royal court of Macedonia, and concluding in the Roman Empire, Daisy Dunn shows us the ancient world through the eyes of the incredible cast of women who shaped it.
