‘The meaning of myth in uncertain times’: first review!

My book ‘The meaning of myth in uncertain times: How classical myth can help us navigate a world in crisis’ is available via all online booksellers.

The first review is out, and it’s really lovely:

‘It is no surprise that the Dutch version of this book (Leidraad door het labyrint [Guide through the Labyrinth]) was awarded the ‘Impact and Outreach Prize’ from OIKOS, the Netherlands Research Institute for Classical Antiquity Studies. The jury described Bracke as a ‘bridge builder between science and society, between antiquity and the present, between education and research’, and this is certainly true in the newly expanded English version of her book. This sparky monograph, which demonstrates a decidedly human and humane perspective on our contemporary
crises, forms a valuable contribution to the ongoing conversation around the power of myth in our globalised world.’
