This rich tapestry of Greek myths has given me the opportunity to look at them through a new lens and I don't want to go back. Circe is the daughter of a titan and a nymph. Exiled to an island as a scapegoat. Yet, Madeline Miller still finds a way to showcase many well-known myths and stories in a new way through Circe. The happily-ever-after we imagined for those Greek heroes may not have been all we envisioned. Simply astounding and so beautifully written. The little girl in me who fell in love with the Greek gods and goddesses as a 3rd grader rejoices.

"For me, there was nothing. I would go on through the countless millennia, while everyone I met ran through my fingers and I was left with only those who were like me."
