Circe by Madeline Miller (2018)

 From the author of The Song of Achilles, Circe is the most recent book from Madeline Miller. In this novel Miller takes various myths where Circe appears, and retells her story in a cohesive novel. With regards to the mythology we see Circe as a side character in various stories. For instance, when Circe meets Odysseus and his men in books 10 and 11 of the Odyssey, and changes his crew into pigs. While in this novel Miller tells of Circe’s life and how she is exiled to the island of Aiaia. While on the island of Aiaia meets with various characters from Greek myth such as Daedalus, Jason, Medea, and Odysseus among others. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest I Greek myth, along with The Song of Achilles, especially if the idea of reading a translation text such as the Odyssey.  Miller presents the material in the form of a novel written for a current audience.
