Natalie Haynes: Why Do Goddesses Matter?

Comedian and Radio 4 regular who ‘Stands Up for Classics’, Natalie Haynes, introduces us to Zeus’s long-suffering wife, whose jealousy of his infidelities lead her to wreak vicious revenge on those who have wronged her; Artemis, goddess of hunting and protector of young girls (apart from those she decides she wants as a sacrifice) and Aphrodite, goddess of sex and desire (no deity is more determined and able to make you miserable if you annoy her). Be prepared to learn and laugh at the same time.
