Myriad Minds: An Account of Women in Classical Tales

Classical myths have a prolong history of being constantly sustained across time. They were equally revisited by Greeks (Homer, for instance), Roman (Virgil) and of late Chaucer, Shakespeare, Pope and the Romantics. To ponder upon what makes them being glorified and gratified by a plethora of intellectuals throughout the human history will certainly lead to various provisional inferences. Therefore, it is prudent to read each story individually, which is the industry here, without any hasty reduction of it so as to explore what it has in its treasure for us, and when a concern for women is deeply seated in the reading, the exploration becomes even more a fecund maneuver. Myriad Minds: An Account of Women in Classical Tales is my attempt to explore the best of the women stories and cater them to readers, particularly the students of literature, for reference.
