This was a quick read but I loved it. I’ve loved everything I’ve read by this author and I gotta say, the way she was able to cram so much information into so short a story is no simple feat.

thank you Madeline Miller for your work c'était une très belle histoire pour donner une voix à Galatée et j'ai adoré le petit debrief à la fin je voudrais ça après toutes mes lectures

quand elle compare pygmalion à l'incel original alors que c'est une histoire qui a été célébré pour sa "romance" vraiment !!!!! Et je viens de réaliser mais le fait qu'il ne soit jamais nommé dans la nouvelle, comme Galatée n'étais jamais nommée dans le mythe d'Ovide!!!! Dinguerie

Je vais grave relire Circé et/ou le chant d'Achille bientôt 🙏🙏🙏

An absolutely haunting take on Galatea. Gorgeously violent and vindictive, taught with unease, and cathartically healing for survivors (potentially).

Speaking of: survivors of domestic violence, abuse, and/or sexual assault could have PTSD alarms set off. There were parts that deeply nauseated me, but the end is worth it.
