Stephanie Dray
“Selene’s life is a lesson to us that the trajectory of women’s equality hasn’t always been a forward march. In some ways the ancients were more advanced than we are today; there have been setbacks before and may be more in the future.”
Stephanie Dray, Lily of the Nile

Santiago Posteguillo
“La venganza, para muchos, solo causa más dolor, pero para Julia la venganza tenía ese regusto dulce que deja la más absoluta de las victorias, esa que se obtiene cuando todos te han dado ya por derrotada. Ingenuos. Todos.”
Santiago Posteguillo, Y Julia retó a los dioses
