I’m reading Circe and the whole romance between her and Telemachus just feels kind of eek… like girl he’s your ex lover’s son and your son’s brother 💀💀💀 Like she literally just fucks every man she meets besides her own son man. I think I would loved to see her having more platonic relationships besides with her own son… Otherwise I love the book, it’s so beautifully written, and Miller just have a way to really make you feel the power of those gods as if you are in a world where gods walked amonst the earth and the world was ran on prophecies, fates, and heroes. The prose are so pretty like poetry I could feel the sea, the fluttering salt wind, and the rustling trees.

The ending of Circe and her marriage to Telemachus is based on The Telegony. This is a lost epic poem that outlines the life of Telegonus, the son of Odysseus & Circe — who kills his father on a visit to Ithaca and returns to Circe’s Aeaea with Telemachus, who marries his father’s lover (Telegonus weds Odysseus’ widow, Penelope).
