«Il canto di Calliope» is the novel by Natalie Haynes, published by Marsilio in paperback (312 pages, in Italian).
Calliope, muse of epic poetry, refuses to sing only the deeds of heroes and champions the women of Troy: Andromache, Cassandra, Penelope, Briseis, Iphigenia. The novel traces the fall of the city from their voices, recovers even the lesser-known classical sources, and proposes a choral reading of the myth.
Italian translation by Monica Capuani. Part of the Universale economica Feltrinelli collection.
For readers interested in feminist retellings of classical myths and new versions of the Trojan War.
