Persephone v. Big Pharma

Ooh… a new one for my reading list. The Homeric Hymn to Demeter retold with Demeter as the head of an agri-NGO, Hades as the CEO of a Pharma company, Persephone as a listless teen lured to his island, and the pomegranate seeds the Pharma company’s top opioid. And a great cover: 

There is a  great book review in the NYTimes. I love the description of the Hades character when he first meets the Persephone character:

In a span of minutes the older man displays a United Nations’ worth of flags, all of them red.
