I love Greek mythology and have been in a tear reading modern takes, particularly on the goddesses (I just finished Jennifer Saint’s Hera), so this would be a logical follow up!

Now, like in 2017, I keep remembering what one of my high school history teachers told us. He said that the United States was more fragile than countries with a monarchy because we transfer power every four years. I never truly understood the wisdom in that statement until now.

I love it! Added to my list!
