Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes is a novel that delves into Greek mythology, particularly the story of Medusa, a figure traditionally seen as a villain, but one that the author reinterprets from a feminist perspective. The work reconfigures classical myths by giving voice to characters who have been silenced by history. Rather than focusing solely on Medusa’s tragedy and suffering, Haynes presents a complex and nuanced view, revealing the circumstances that led her to become what mythology remembers: a woman punished for her beauty, her power, and her vulnerability. It is an exploration of how myths can be retold and reimagined to give new life and meaning to characters who have been condemned for centuries.

Through her narrative style, Haynes weaves together tragedy with social critique, using mythology not just as a form of escapism but as a tool to question and subvert societal norms. In Stone Blind, the author employs elements of historical fiction and fantasy literature to offer a vision of Greek mythology that challenges established conventions. The work is a retelling that focuses not only on Medusa’s physical transformation but also on her emotional and psychological evolution. In doing so, Haynes invites the reader to reflect on structures of power, justice, and stories of oppression, presenting Medusa not as a monstrous figure, but as a complex woman with a story that deserves to be told from her own perspective.
