In Jean Shinoda Bolen’s bestselling, game-changing Goddesses in Everywoman, myths came to life in a whole new way that resonated with our own lives. Even fictional character Bridget Jones was reading that book. Now comes Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman, a groundbreaking new audiobook that explores the archetype of the activist.

Some Christians think Paul's reference to "saved through childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence. Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.

Artemis had one of the most widespread cults in the Greek world, perhaps due to her connection to nature, which can be a ubiquitous antagonist or boon-giver. Her association with nature may also explain why she was one of the oldest deities in the Greek pantheon, although her appearance in the Mycenaean Linear B script (the earliest form of Greek that has been deciphered, dating to as early as 1450 BCE) is still contested.

Chi è Artemis Fowl? Un genio? Certo non c'è altro modo di definire un dodicenne con un quoziente intellettivo che sfugge a qualsiasi classificazione. Un criminale? Senza dubbio, discende da una stirpe di illustri malfattori, e non ci pensa due volte a mettere la sua mente brillante al servizio dell'illecito. E infatti, per rimpinguare il patrimonio di famiglia, Artemis ha ideato il colpo più insolito e audace del secolo: impadronirsi dell'oro che il Piccolo Popolo custodisce gelosamente da millenni. Peccato che gli ostacoli siano tanti, e imprevedibili.
