A Thousand Ships is a 2019 novel by Natalie Haynes which retells the mythology of the Trojan War from the perspective of the women involved.

[2] As a framing device, the muse Calliope narrates numerous stories from the perspective of the women involved in the Trojan War to an unnamed (but implied to be Homer) male poet.

[5] In another interview, she said "[t]he fact that women’s narratives have been historically overlooked is a tremendous result if, like me, you love these myths and have been immersed in them since childhood, and also want to write your own versions of them".

Publishers Weekly called the novel "an enthralling reimagining" and wrote "Haynes shines by twisting common perceptions of the Trojan War and its aftermath in order to capture the women’s experiences".

[11] For NPR, Melissa Gray called the novel "a fresh and utterly satisfying feminist take on one of the oldest stories in Western literature".
