'A brilliant concept, executed with enviable elegance' Lucy
WorsleySpanning 3,000 years, from the birth of Minoan Crete to the
death of the Julio-Claudian dynasty in Rome, a magisterial new
history of the ancient world told, for the very first time, through
women. For centuries, men have been writing histories of antiquity
filled with warlords, emperors and kings. But when it comes to
incorporating women aside from Cleopatra and Boudica, writers have
been more comfortable describing mythical heroines than real
ones.While Penelope and Helen of Troy live on in the imagination,
their real-life counterparts have been relegated to the margins. In
The Missing Thread, Daisy Dunn inverts this tradition and puts the
women of history at the centre of the narrative.These pages present
Enheduanna, the earliest named author, the poet Sappho and
Telesilla, who defended her city from attack. Here is Artemisia,
sole female commander in the Graeco-Persian Wars, and Cynisca, the
first female victor at the Olympic Games.Cleopatra may be the more
famous, but Fulvia, Mark Antony's wife, fought a war on his behalf.
Many other women remain nameless but integral. Through new
examination of the sources combined with vivid storytelling Daisy
Dunn shows us the ancient world through fresh eyes, and introduces
us to an incredible cast of ancient women, weavers of an entire
world.
