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.

读书尤里卡# 今天读完了Circe 作者是：Madeline Miller 是我今年读过最喜欢的小说了 这本书是在希腊神话的基础上再创造，文字细腻柔韧，让人舍不得放下。我从来没有接触过希腊神话，知道的名字只有“宙斯”，“阿波罗”，“雅典娜”。但是在读这本书的时候也没有感觉到任何的...  

用户评价

英文有声书。读了一阵无感就放弃了。开头那里写Circe见到她叔叔普罗米修斯，还在想写这俩人的话还挺带感。。。

开头还挺有趣，但之后就写成了一个披着希腊神话皮的晋江女尊文，一度以为自己在刷ao3同人。所谓的女权主义女性觉醒都是皮毛，更像是后期营销贴的标签。不过这个类型还挺适合HBO拍成剧的。

冰冷，残酷而瑰丽，无论是凡人还是神灵，女性总面临相似的恐惧与困境。无尽的大理石柱廊和其上跳跃的火焰，神拥有庄严的力量和漫长得望不见尽头的寿命，但生命却从指尖如砂砾般流逝，无从获得美丽而不朽的爱。

Constellation can brush the earth once a year, while the chance for one soul to dip near another is much smaller. Seems that nostalgia is a universal truth.

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？
