具体描述

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child--not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power--the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.

But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.

Only that: we are here. This is what it means to swim in the tide, to walk the earth and feel it touch your feet. This is what it means to be alive (and mortal..) Outside of Aiaia, a constellation of your own.

最后我以为Circe是要把对方变成神，没想到一番畅想之后是要把自己变成人。就像人类会梦想永恒光荣，神会期待短暂炽烈。主题之一是爱，但爱是什么呀？【好久不读小说，读了一本还是神话题材，觉得还不错。】

我喜欢这本书，但读得太痛苦。Circe真是女性的好榜样，结局强行happy ending. 过程这么女权，最后就给我们这样的结局？Jason那段感觉时间线不太对。Theseus都从Crete回去了，Medea才跟Jason刚偷完金羊毛？这个时候不应该Medea已经决裂了Jason跑到雅典跟Theseus老爹一起生了孩子再被Theseus打败，跑回家弑父吗？
