The picture of classical antiquity that we are taught in school is framed in misogynistic violence, the seeds of feminist resistance within them either omitted or outright ignored. In Antigone Rising, classicist Helen Morales reminds us that these myths can be read in very different ways and makes it clear that they are due a fresh understanding.
In moments like Antigone's stand against tyranny or Procne and Philomela's punishing of a powerful rapist, Morales uncovers the hidden truths about solidarity and empowerment that exists within these familiar stories. Rather than continuing to use myth to justify harmful practices like diet culture and school dress code, she shows how you can, instead, use them to challenge the status quo and rail against unjust regimes.
