Rachel Cunliffe • New Statesman Jan 22, 2025

"...more like the history teacher you wish you’d had... With the help of guests from academia and comedy, Haynes unravels what the ancient sources actually tell us and makes her audience fall in love with her subjects – and with classics in general. I recommend a cup of tea, a biscuit, and half an hour of stand-up about the Greek goddess Athena."
