Circe




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Goddess, sorceress, villainess, heroine - or all of these? You decide, as we explore Madeline Miller’s Circe, (Little, Brown, 2020). Set during the Greek Heroic Age, it is an adaptation of various Greek myths, most notably the Odyssey, as told from Circe’s perspective. The novel explores Circe’s origin story and narrates her encounters with mythological figures such as Hermes, the Minotaur, Jason, and Medea, and ultimately, her romance with Odysseus and his son Telemachus. Circe received glowing reviews from The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, Kirkus Reviews, and others. With its vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and page-turning suspense, Circe is an epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as female strength in a predominately male world. For our study group, any edition of the book may be used, and it is available in hard copy, ebook, and audiobook from the library and online. Join us as we explore Circe’s story and gain insights into ancient Greek myths and culture!
