In Greek mythology, the goddess and witch Circe lived on the remote island of Aeaea. It was here that she gathered and used her magic herbs to turn men into pigs, and also where she spent a year with the hero Odysseus. Madeline Miller's fabulous novel 'Circe' retells the myth from Circe's perspective. More info about the book here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35959740-circe

@curiousordinary @mythology @folklore LOVE this book. I've read it twice, listened to it twice. And I do believe it's about time to read it again...

@curiousordinary @mythology @folklore I've yet to read Circe but given the quality of The Song of Achilles I'm really excited to.
