具體描述
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.

##英文有聲書。讀瞭一陣無感就放棄瞭。開頭那裏寫Circe見到她叔叔普羅米修斯，還在想寫這倆人的話還挺帶感。。。
##很少讀希臘神話的我覺得耳目一新，非常喜歡！作者文筆非常好，有聲書的朗讀也好聽。
說是希臘神話其實就是富傢女覺得親戚朋友都空虛無聊就自己叛逆有想法占盡瞭階層的便宜之後自以為得到自由的空虛無聊故事。以高中生的視野中年婦女的語氣把神話復述成網文的書怎麼總會大獲好評？時間綫都是錯的。講播特彆假深沉，可讀成瑟曦，傑森，阿賈剋斯實在太土瞭。

##這是一本從女性視角講訴希臘神話的娓娓道來的小說，我願稱之為一個女人的史詩。大眾熟知的史詩都是男人寫的，寫的也都是男人，波瀾壯闊，喊打喊殺，這何嘗不是一種瑪麗蘇？那些拿這本小說跟女尊文或者荷馬史詩作比的人未免也太可笑瞭，我隻感受到瞭社會對於女性依然深重的偏見，以及我們需要更多像Madeline Miller這樣的作傢。

##Humbling women seems to me a chief pastime of poets. As if there can be no story unless we crawl and weep. They barely care if you are wicked. The only thing that makes them listen is power. 書名乾脆翻譯為《白蓮女神誤入凡塵之我要復仇》🙄🙄🙄 你看女👊錘不錘你就完瞭
##最後我以為Circe是要把對方變成神，沒想到一番暢想之後是要把自己變成人。就像人類會夢想永恒光榮，神會期待短暫熾烈。主題之一是愛，但愛是什麼呀？【好久不讀小說，讀瞭一本還是神話題材，覺得還不錯。】
