But Greek mythology seemed all Greek to me (pun intended!). I used to be obsessed with Egyptian mythology and fascinated by the Celtic one.
And raw power through its definition is not delicate.īeing honest right now, I have never been a huge fan of Greek mythology. Starting the book review dream with a powerful one, so let’s go! 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. 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.īut 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. 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. But Circe is a strange child-not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born.
