Circe – Madeline Miller

Before reading this book, I knew very little about Greek mythology – maybe that Zeus, Poseidon and Hades were associated with Greece, but nothing more. However, Madeline Miller has made the topic engaging, accessible, and exciting for me. Her writing inspired me to explore more about the topic while I was reading and after finishing the book. I even subscribed to a podcast on the subject, can you imagine? There is something fascinating about the fact, how the ancient Greeks used gods, titans, and olympians and other concepts to explain the world, life, and the uncertainties that come with it and giving meaning to their experiences.
