Ms. Haynes is an award-winning journalist, writer and comedian.My daughter bought this book and was kind enough to let me read it. It sat for a few months on my desk until I finally decided to read – and I’m glad I did.One of the first things I noticed about A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes is the great sense of humor, the other is the number of characters involved. I have no idea how many there are, but there are a lot and it’s a true testament to the author’s skill that they don’t all get lost in the narrative.The book acknowledges the suffering of the women during the Trojan War. From the petty goddesses to the Amazon Penthesilea dying at the hands of Achilles. We are with the Trojan mothers who witness the fall of their city, as well as the deaths of their husbands and sons. We are privy to Penelope’s thoughts while waiting for two decades for her husband, Ulysses, to come back.I have to admit that I read this book with some skepticism, but I was happy to find out that the author did not need to make the men look weak or incompetent in order to make the women look strong. Quite the opposite, the women in this book are just as strong, majestic, and interesting as their male counterparts who had thousands of years to enter our consciousness. As Calliope reminded us at the end: “I have picked up the old stories and I have shaken them until the hidden women appear in plain sight.”The women are capable of just as much revenge and violence as the males, as proven by Clytemnestra, they are just as cunning and honorable – many much more. Even though I enjoyed the concept, toward the end I was just reading it to finish, as the story is too broad, but still very enjoyable, regardless if you read the Odyssey or not. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used Condition Not Specified *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2023* I received a book that was scuffed up and had the price cut out of it. I thought I was purchasing a new copy of the book so I’m slightly dissatisfied with the condition. If it had just been labelled as a Good Condition Used Copy I doubt I would have cared. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ very enjoyable and fresh take on the Trojan war *by J***1 on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2023* I really enjoyed this take on the Trojan war, focusing on the untold, or barely told stories of the women involved in the war. It was reach with emotion, bright with well written characters, and fresh, something that’s hard to do to Greek mythology in a way that doesn’t seem redundant to what is already out there. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/147372670-a-thousand-ships-hardcover-may-2-2019](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/147372670-a-thousand-ships-hardcover-may-2-2019) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
