Luen Madeline Millerin Kirkeä - nautittavaa kielenkäyttöä ja uskottavan tuntuista miljöökuvausta ("unenomaista yksinkertaista proosaa" arvioidaan takaliepeessä). Myös yleissivistävää, kun on koko ajan haettava lisätietoa kreikkalaisesta mytologiasta. Kiitos @hannamorre vinkistä! Suomennos on Irmeli Ruuskan ja ilmeisen hyvä, koska ainakaan minulle ei lukiessa tule mieleen, että tämä on suomennos.

So, the bad news is, #MadelineMiller, one of my favorite authors, is still suffering from #LongCovid. The good news is, she has finished one short story ( #Galatea ) and another is due out in September ( #Mestra ). Maybe, just maybe, she'll finish #Persephone. And she is enjoying the renewed interest in #Classics because of #TheOdyssey.

𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘢 di Madeline Miller è un grosso... bah.
Indubbiamente veloce da leggere, visto che è un racconto illustrato. Interessante come la Miller abbia sfruttato un mito classico per parlare di un argomento attuale, ma... manca la magia dei suoi romanzi. Anche il linguaggio l'ho trovato a tratti scurrile, un po' fastidioso.
Eppoi mi ha deluso il finale. Speravo che Galatea lottasse di più per sua figlia.

CW: TW mención a violación
Añadido: en retellings posteriores, han revisitado mucho las intenciones de #Circe. Tanto en #Epic como la novela de #MadelineMiller hablan que ella actúa así porque han violado a sus ninfas, pero personalmente no me gusta que, para "empoderar" a un personaje femenino se tire de abuso sexual que ni está en el relato original.
La xenia ya sirve de motivo de sobra para defender a Circe. Invades mi tierra, te doy la mano y te tomas todo el brazo. Recordemos, además, que en #LaOdisea no hay buenos ni malos, hay personajes ambiguos, complejos e imperfectos. Y es lo bonito.

OUCH! The Translator of #TheOdyssey Just Slammed #ChristopherNolan’s Movie
“I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script,” wrote #EmilyWilson, the first woman to translate The Odyssey into English.
By Josh OsmanPublished: Jul 27, 2026 1:20 PM EDT
Excerpt: "Throughout her piece, the scholar notes that no adaptation should necessarily follow an original exactly. (In fact, she praises some radically reinterpretations of The Odyssey, including #MargaretAtwood's #Penelopiad, #MadelineMiller's #Circe, and other literary classics that riff off the text, including those of #Euripides, #JohnMilton, and #JamesJoyce.)"

CW: Spoilers - Madeline Miller -- Circe
Following a student reader's recommendation in a library, I picked up a copy of Madeline Miller's "Circe" and am not sorry I did so.
This reworking and expansion of the lore of Circe from a woman's point of view absorbed me. Unlike some readers, I did not find the narrative dragged at any point, although I did note some weaknesses.
Writing the preceding paragraph, I chose the phrase "from a woman's point of view" rather than "feminist" because the former description seems more appropriate for two sections of the novel which, as it happens, I also consider weaker parts of the work.The first was the account of Circe's rearing of the infant Telegonus, her child by Odysseus. Unlike all those parts of the novel where Miller has reworked ancient narratives, this section lacks - as far as I am aware - much in the way of precedent in the literature of antiquity. This lack throws Miller on her own resources, and the result, with its account of the problems getting the baby to sleep and the other quotidian challenges with which any of us parents reading will be all too familiar, came across as something more inspired by mommy blogging than a mother in myth.
The second section that struck a false note with me was that dealing with Circe's growing love for Telemachus. Here the source material for the liaison can be found in ancient sources, but its narrative treatment in the novel owes more to the modern romance. A narrative's woman protagonist using her feminine sensibility to reawaken an emotionally wounded man to the possibility of love can be found in "Jane Eyre" and its successors of course, but the focus on the man's ability to undertake domestic repairs and facility with refitting means of transport, and the vision of shared travels that follows on from this manly manual labor is indebted, I suspect, to American romance narratives marketed to women but which would be difficult to describe as feminist.
Nevertheless, the conclusion of the novel in which Circe transforms herself from goddess to mortal so that she might live and die as a human with Telemachus shows an impressive use of literary craft in its mirroring of the novel's earlier account of Circe's earlier transformation of the mortal Glaucos into a god and her subsequent disappointment.
The feminist currents of the novel, particularly the attention given to male violence, work well in provoking thought, as do the novel's reflections on magic and mortality. In addition, "Circe" testifies to the enduring power of antique myth. I have more to say about the author's attitude to the gods of Olympus, but that will have to wait for another post. In the meantime, thanks to that student who recommended the book - you should follow up their recommendation too!

Wieder feines Lesefutter, mit gutem Sog und schnell weggeschnupft. Der Mythos der Halbgöttin Circe feministisch gelesen, Tochter des Sonnengottes und einer Nymphe, sie entwickelt sich zur mächtigen Hexe, ihr Eigensinn gepaart mit Naivität helfen dabei, aber immer diese göttliche Vorsehung und Unsterblich-Sein ist scheinbar auch gar nicht so der Burner, weil dann nichts jemals wirklich endet (watch out, Peter T.!) #books #bookstodon #frauenlesen #MadelineMiller #2024reads #bücherliebe

Mythen und Sagen werden einfach nie fad und eignen sich immer wieder gut für Neuadaptierungen, in dem Fall für eine schwule Liebesgeschichte, nur ganz wenig kitschig, nur ein bisserl überdramatisch, stolze Helden clashen aufs Feinste mit strengen Nymphen und ambitionierten Königen und es erzählt der sympathische Underdog... #bookstodon #books #bücherliebe #frauenlesen #2024reads #MadelineMiller

@amymyoung Cool! So, have you read any of #MadelineMiller's books? She does a great job bringing life to the Greek myths. Her book, " #Circe" deals with the misogyny of the "heroic" period, while "The Song of #Achilles" deals with the subject of male homosexuality during the same time. I find her interpretations match what I gleaned from translating #Homer myself.

Bibliogoth today was good. We were discussing 'Circe' by Madeline Miller. It might seem a book on a mythological ancient Greek witch would be boring, it isn't. And the discussion veered into some interesting side-themes.

Odiseo siempre es una figura bastante truculenta de usar, pero me parece que #MadelineMiller lo retrató perfectamente en cuestión de 2 interacciones y eso que estoy empezando el libro.
Me da cosita el pobrecito de Patroclo con semejante carepicha que tiene por padre.

Terminado #LaCancionDeAquiles de #MadelineMiller me encanta la mitología y la forma en la que Madeline escribe.
Me he leído #Circe #Galatea y me leeré todo lo que siga escribiendo Miller. Qué maravilla. -
“Mistress?” the leader would say. “Do not tell me that such a beauty as yourself dwells all alone?”..No sign of brothers or fathers or sons, no vengeance that would follow after. If I were valuable to anyone, I would not be allowed to live alone..I savored their confusion, their dawning fear...Their screams broke into squeals... their piggy eyes still wet with the last of their human tears... #Circe

“Mistress?” the leader would say. “Do not tell me that such a beauty as yourself dwells all alone?”..No sign of brothers or fathers or sons, no vengeance that would follow after. If I were valuable to anyone, I would not be allowed to live alone..I savored their confusion, their dawning fear...Their screams broke into squeals... their piggy eyes still wet with the last of their human tears... #Circe

Ma lecture de la semaine : #Circe de #MadelineMiller. C'est l''histoire de la magicienne Circé, qu'on connaît notamment par sa rencontre avec Ulysse dans l'Odyssée.
J'ai beaucoup apprécié le côté à la fois humain et féministe de cette réécriture mythologique. Le rythme lent et posé de l'écriture en rebutera peut-être certains, mais ça changeait de manière agréable de mes lectures habituelles plus rythmées.
