We Goddesses: Athena, Aphrodite, Hera

Orgel, Doris.  We Goddesses: Athena, Aphrodite, Hera. Illustrated by Marilee Heyer. DK Children, 1999. 144 pages. Fiction.

A unique perspective of what life was like for girls and women in ancient Greece is beautifully told through the voices of three special goddesses.  Each tells her own story--her childhood,escapades, rivalries, romances--and finally... how they come together and join forces.


Athena's Wisdom:  Even though We Goddesses is fiction, it can teach you a lot about Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera.  Also use this book if you want to learn more about women and girls in Ancient Greece.
