For today's #FairyTaleTuesday @EnchantedEzine is asking for #powerfulWomen and #heroines from #mythology, #legends and #Folklore . So here is a thread of my favourite strong legendary women. 1/7

1) Medea, from #GreekMythology. Through her life she was raised by witches, was cheated on and had her mind destroyed by the gods. Although she commuted atrocities she did remain strong!

5) #Antigone a mortal woman from #GreekMythology and #tragedy. She went against the state and the king despite knowing it would end in her downfall and later instead of allowing the king to decide when she would die, she ended her own life.

6) #Circe from #GreekMythology she was banished to an island because the gods feared her powers of #Witchcraft. On this island she perfected her art and turned men to pigs.
