Notes
Circe by Madeline Miller is a reimagining of the mythological figure Circe, a powerful witch who is exiled to the island of Aiaia after angering the gods. Through Circe’s perspective, the novel explores her transformation from a lonely, underestimated nymph into a formidable force, as she grapples with love, betrayal, and the complexities of power. The story reexamines familiar Greek myths, giving voice to a character often seen as a villain, and highlights themes of self-discovery, isolation, and empowerment.
