Of Wisdom

The Gods Were Greek - Book I

’Sing, goddes...’

Born in silence and shrouded in secrets, Athena’s questions about her mother Metis are met with lies, and her search for the truth threatens the fragile peace of the gods. When a betrayal forces her exile to the mortal world, she discovers a dangerous prophecy: one day, she will overthrow Zeus himself.

As ancient powers stir and loyalties fracture, Athena must survive among mortals, confront the past the gods buried, and decide if she will become the weapon they fear.

For readers of Madeline Miller, Jennifer Saint, and Natalie Haynes - Of Wisdom is a sweeping, female led reimagining of Athena’s untold origin story.
