This feeling never gets old 🥰 My new book is out in the world today! The Mute Goddess: Forgotten Greek and Roman Myths. And yes, it has that new book smell!

I am very excited, and very nervous. I put my heart and soul into researching these myths. Maybe because I am an archaeologist, but this one makes me more nervous about what people will think than any of my previous books 😬

Photo of me (white woman, 30s, long red hair, glasses, blue eyes, sparkly makeup, toothy smile), holding a book with a blue cover, decorated with constellations and the stylized image of a Greek goddess with long flowing hair. Title (in Hungarian) reads The Mute Goddess: Forgotten Greek and Roman Myths.

By the way, said "Forgotten Greek and Roman Myths" book is looking for an English lanuage publisher ;)

It is coming out in Hungary on the 16th from Trend Kiadó.

It contains 25 little known stories from Greek and Roman mythology - including variants of myths not included in most popular collections. Sourced and researched, and re-told by a storyteller.

If anyone has any suggestions, let me know :)

The cover of the book. Translation: Zalka Csenge Virág: The Mute Goddess: Forgotten Greek and Roman myths. The cover is designed in shades of blue, and portrays the stylized image of a goddess with long, flowing hair, surrounded by constellations and catching stars in her palm. Cover art by Khor Fruzsina.

My new favorite quote, from the footnotes for Antoninus Liberalis' #mythology book:

"A hooked line cast into antiquity pulls in many other lines, all sources of red herrings!"

Antoninus Liberalis keeps on giving. Today's favorite myth is "Hercules talks a himbo into dumping his abusive boyfriend."

Antoninus Liberalis also mentions that on Crete people worshiped Leto the Grafter, a goddess who changed a woman into a man by "grafting organs on him". Just saying.

So was anyone going to tell me that the "sacrificial virgin rescued from dragon by dashing hero" story existed as a gay love story in ancient times, or was I supposed to just find out from Antoninus Liberalis myself?...
