Breaking Down Hera by Jennifer Saint: A Myth Reclaimed
Today on the channel, I’m reviewing Hera by Jennifer Saint, a stunning feminist retelling of the queen of the gods like you’ve never seen her before.
Jennifer Saint has done it again—taking a figure so often vilified in Greek mythology and giving her back her voice, her pain, and her power. In this review, I explore how Hera reframes the story of Zeus’s wife not as a jealous villain, but as a complex woman stripped of agency, navigating betrayal, politics, and survival on Mount Olympus.
