I read Circe right after I read Ariadne (I had a neighbor named after her!), and I’m glad I did. We always hear Greco-Roman myths where women are always worse off. It’s refreshing that these stories are being told from different perspectives, so we hear more in-depth about them. I started reading the physical book, but I think the audiobook is a much better format for Circe.
