In ancient Greek mythology, Zeus never entered peoples' lives quietly. As the king of the gods with dominion over the skies and thunder, Zeus never faced accountability for inflicting abuse on mortals and mythological beings alike. Meanwhile, the victims reel in animalistic transformations, forced pregnancies, and Hera's torment and persecution.
'After the Thunder Leaves' is Natalya Tèdak's first poetry collection, exploring parallels on present feminist issues within the victims' stories and Zeus as a patriarchal representation of unchecked wealth and power.
