Wrath Goddess Sing by Maya Deane is a captivating novel that draws on ancient texts and modern archaeology to reveal the trans woman’s story hidden beneath the well-known myths of The Iliad. In this compelling and pitilessly beautiful vision of Achilles’ vanished world, Deane weaves a unique tale. Achilles, having fled her home and her Myrmidon clan, now lives as a woman with the kallai—the transgender priestesses of Great Mother Aphrodite.
When Odysseus recruits her for war against the Hittites, she prepares to die rather than fight as a man. But divine intervention transforms her body into the woman’s form she always longed for.
