The first half of the book I found the most personally relatable. Circe is punished for her virtues of kindness and honesty in a social structure that values power and prestige above morality. She is cast out because she disobeyed senseless rules that were never explained to her. So much of social interaction in hierarchical culture is about having to assimilate without question and with no instruction.
Miller's characterization of Prometheus made me very interested in him and I was a little disappointed that he was never reintroduced after his brief appearance at the start of the book.

Most content is not major as explicitly outlined. However, most were put as major due to no specificity regarding the triggers of the individual who decides to read.dropkickmechanics's review against another edition
