It’s easy to get bogged down in all the boasting and which god is fighting for which side, but throughout those stories, I felt a curiosity to know what would happen to those poor, warring mortals and how those meddling gods and goddesses would affect the outcome.
Mythology in general, actually. I remember reading The Iliad and The Odyssey when I was a teenager some particularly hot summer for no other reason than I found copies at a thrift store and was intrigued by those exotic yet familiar names –Achilles, Athena, Apollo, Hector, Helen…Īdmittedly, getting through those classics was rough at times. I am happy to report it was $14.55 well spent. I finished reading Circe by Madeline Miller in one weekend.Īfter seeing all of the 5-Star ratings on Amazon, and taking into consideration it is a #1 New York Times Bestseller, I purchased the book with high hopes.
