Description
Myths and legends would be nothing without their shining star of a hero at the forefront … right?
Heroes or Zeroes? looks at the dashingly handsome and oh-so-brave men from antiquity in a whole other light.
From 'famous' Heroes, Rowdy Royals, Underdogs and more, Lizzy takes us on a wild ride through their stories. Uncovering the unsung heroes and wrongly forgotten sidekicks, Lizzy has us ask, what is it to be a ‘hero’? And should the so-called ‘zeros’ really be labelled as such?
With her signature wit and humour, Lizzy narrates the legends we've all become so familiar with while also opening up an undiscovered chapter. So, dive in and prepare to decide, who's really a hero?

Media Reviews
Praise for Bad Girls of Ancient Greece
'An entertaining and enlightening guide to Greek mythology with an emphasis on the female perspective. Bad Girls of Ancient Greece is a riotous romp through the tales of the classical world' Luna McNamara author of Psyche and Eros
'A fun, new twist on all aspects of femininity in the Greek myths! Overlooked for so many centuries, it feels like all the bad (and not so bad) girls of Greek mythology are marching down and 'ringing their own bells'. This is indeed a very empowering book!' Theodore Papakostas, author of the international bestseller How to Fit All of Ancient Greece in an Elevator
