The author in an accessible and ironic style turns to the most famous myths, connecting mythological images with the realities of everyday life, opening the mechanisms that determine the behavior and roles of women and men, and, not only in ancient Greece.
Francoise Frontisi -Ducca is one of the leading French specialists in the field of ancient history and mythology, the author of numerous books, teacher of college de France.
