Circe

Circe

Madeline Miller - 2018

Overview

Born the daughter of Helios, the sun god, Circe is an outcast among deities due to her lack of divine power and voice. Her isolation leads her to discover a forbidden talent: witchcraft. Banished by Zeus to the island of Aiaia, she hones her craft, drawing strength from nature. Her exile becomes a crossroads for many, including Hermes, Daedalus, and Odysseus, whose destinies intertwine with hers. Circe must confront the dangers posed by men and gods alike, ultimately deciding where she belongs.
