Unbearable Men

“Unbearable” Women

Author: Sophie Shamanidi

Description: 

This book compiles the research of Sophie Shamanidi. The author examines the literary transformations of ancient Greek mythological figures.

“Unbearable” Women and Unbearable Men present several prominent characters, including Medea, Clytemnestra, Helen, Agamemnon, Odysseus, etc., from the perspective of their relationships with their partners, and also show how the attitudes of other authors and critics toward these characters have changed over time.

The author’s academic narrative is engaging and accessible for literary professionals and ordinary readers alike. This is a great review of  these archetypes: men and women from Greek mythology and their patterns, which have always been and still are actual subjects of discussion and interpretation in literature.
