I loved this like I love all your history dives! I definitely go through seasons of being really interested in mythology and finding it upsetting to read (the implied or actual sexual violence in so many of the stories) and then I discard it again. And as we sink into September I appreciate the reading recommendations about the reality of witchcraft and the appropriation that exists in so much of it. Basically now I want to read all three books you featured here!!
