<B>Meet mythology’s fifty fiercest females in this modern retelling of the world’s greatest legends.</B><BR/><BR/> From feminist fairies to bloodsucking temptresses, half-human harpies and protective Vodou goddesses, these are women who go beyond long-haired, smiling stereotypes. Their stories are so powerful, so entrancing, that they have survived for millennia.

Players include: <ul><li>Bewitching, banished <B>Circe</B>, an introvert famed and feared for her transfigurative powers. </li><li>The righteous <B>Furies</B>, defiantly unrepentant about their dedication to justice. </li><li>Fun-loving <B>Ame-no-Uzume</B> who makes quarrelling friends laugh and terrifies monsters by flashing at them.</li><li>The fateful <B>Morai </B>sisters who spin a complex web of birth, life and death.</li></ul>
