However, there are some fascinating stories around the women of Mount Olympus, and this \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eseries of works pays homage to them. Women have always been, it is easily argued, able to manage the whims of their men by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eusing their emotional intellegence, understanding and often superior intellect. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs I raise a daughter (who is almost 15 now), I want to let her know that being smart and strong is okay, whilst being gentle \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand kind.

This work has moments of tenderness, gentleness, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emajesty and nostalgia as we think on how love is a powerful part of our lives and always has been.
