Madeline Miler

• Dec 19, 2024 Circe By Madeline Miler For a bit there at the beginning I thought this might just be a worthy follow up to The Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Aeneid. It is of course a logical follow up, with nearly flawless prose and a nice reinterpretation of what on the surface level represents you know, the correct modern thought about gender dynamics etc, telling the side of the that wasn't told and now society at large has some of the tools (feminism) to understand that side of the story. But as time went on, I think it ended up dropping the ball a bit - well-written but just not that meaningful or resonant.
