As the goddess of Memory and mother of The Muses, she is uniquely qualified to set the record straight\u2014to tell the\u00a0<em>true<\/em>\u00a0stories without the usual patriarchal propaganda, all the while keeping things fun and only slightly blasphemous. Mnemosyne, as a timeless goddess, knows now and then backwards and forwards and has as much to say about the here and now as way back when. These fourteen tales include the most famous\u2014Daphne and Apollo, Europa and Jove, the Birth of Athena, Cupid and Psyche\u2014along with some too-often-forgotten ones, such as Tiresias and his daughter Manto, and Oenone, the abandoned wife of Paris. Charon, appropriately, concludes the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"1000\" src=\"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1262\" style=\"width:614px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image.png 628w, http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-188x300.png 188w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aqueductpress.com\/books\/978-1-61976-258-9.php\">http:\/\/www.aqueductpress.com\/books\/978-1-61976-258-9.php<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New book!
