In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child, not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology.
Incredible feminist retelling and reframing of the story of a mythological figure that served as a foil and consultant to a man instead of having her own agency. Brilliantly told, touching upon major Greek myths and giving depth to and a fresh perspective on the women in these stories.
