Gender Swapped Greek Myths

"Thought-provoking and charmingly rendered." — Guardian

Imagine a world where seductive male sirens lure brave heroines to their death, where Icara and her mother fly too close to the sun, and where beautiful men are forced to wed underworld queens.

For thousands of years, Greek myths have shaped our ideas about justice, tragedy, and the hero's journey. However, in these traditional tales, bravery is often reserved for men while women are cast as wicked witches or helpless maidens. Karrie Fransman and Jonathan Plackett have found a way to breathe new life into these ancient legends by making one crucial change: they have switched all the genders.

Following the incredible success of Gender Swapped Fairy Tales, this collection applies that same simple, revolutionary step to the world of gods and monsters. The stories haven't been rewritten, and the endings haven't been reinvented; by simply swapping "he" for "she," a refreshing and thunderstruck new world emerges.
