“Madeline Miller, the author of the international bestseller The Song of Achilles, comes to another powerful tale Circe. Circe ranks high in the bestseller list of The New York Times. Inspired by Homer’s Odyssey, Madeline Miller tells the tale of the mythological witch born in the house of Helios. Circe may be the daughter of the god of the sun, but she is rejected by her kin. She did not have the look nor the voice characteristic of her divine blood. Rejection and isolation with her fellow caused Circe to turn to mortals for acceptance. As she explored the world of mortals, she discovered a forbidden power to the gods – witchcraft. Zeus was threatened of this newfound power so he banished Circe to the deserted island of Aiaia where Circe honed her witchcraft. This is where she encountered many of the prominent figures in all of mythology. Her visitors included Daedalus, the Minotaur, Icarus, Medea, and Odysseus. However, there is much danger for a woman who stands alone. Circe unwittingly drew the wrath of both gods and humans. She ultimately found herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful among the Olympians. She must protect those whom she loves the most, so Circe summoned all of her strength and chose once and for all where she truly belongs. She must choose between the gods whom she was born with or the mortals whom she has come to love. With Madeline Miller’s mesmerizing language, unforgettably vivid characters, and page-turning suspense, Circe is truly a triumph of storytelling.

irce is the newest fiction novel from the internationally bestselling author of The Song of Achilles, Madeline Miller. The Song of Achilles retold the epic Troy through the eyes of Patroclus, whose death launched the duel between Achilles and Hector. His death was avenged, and Achilles dragged Hector's body in his victory. Miller's Circe, on the other hand, was inspired by Homer's The Odyssey.
Circe was born as the firstborn of the mightiest of titans, Helios, and the beautiful nymph Perse. Though her father is the god of the sun, she did not look nor speak like a god. Her own father describes her as dull. She is often dismissed as unattractive. The sound of her thin voice offended the gods. Circe was not beautiful like her mother Perse, nor powerful like her father, Helios. She wasn’t crafty like her siblings Perses, Aeëtes, Perses, and Pasiphaë. Circe was much odder looking, frail, and mortal in appearance more than divine. Her features do not match her divinity, so she was rejected by her more beautiful, more majestic kin. She was treated harshly because she was different. Her inferior status among the gods led her to isolation. Her isolation led her to mortals. She found acceptance in a land that is not her own. As she walked with mortals, she discovered witchcraft, a power forbidden to the gods.
Circe spoke with Prometheus about the fate of the humankind. Then, she witnessed how the gods harshly treated Prometheus. When Circe witnessed his plight, this moved her and caused her to sympathize more with the humans.
