Circe

by Madeline Miller
Circe
Circe

Mythological feminism; Circe's empowering, lyrical saga.

If you find yourself drawn to the luscious tapestries of Greek mythology but also crave a story that gives voice to its women, "Circe" is your next must-read. Madeline Miller masterfully weaves the ancient tales with a fresh perspective, granting depth and strength to a character formerly seen through the eyes of men. It's not just another retelling; it's an immersive journey that champions the understanding of one's self-worth and power, making it deeply relevant and inspiring.

Description

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe has neither the look nor the voice of divinity, and is scorned and rejected by her kin. Increasingly isolated, she turns to mortals for companionship, leading her to discover a power forbidden to the gods: witchcraft. When love drives Circe to cast a dark spell, wrathful Zeus banishes her to the remote island of Aiaia. There she learns to harness her occult craft, drawing strength from nature. But she will not always be alone; many are destined to pass through Circe's place of exile, entwining their fates with hers. The messenger god, Hermes. The craftsman, Daedalus. A ship bearing a golden fleece. And wily Odysseus, on his epic voyage home. There is danger for a solitary woman in this world, and Circe's independence draws the wrath of men and gods alike. To protect what she holds dear, Circe must decide whether she belongs with the deities she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.
