    Beautifully written and intriguing retelling story of Circe, a witch, sorceress, one of the daugther of Helios with Perse, who despises her as she doesn’t have a beautiful quality of appearance as other of his daughter, has not much power as his other child.

    Her story is full of sadness, anger, jealousy, as a child, as a lover, as a mother, but above all she showed a quality of pure heart goddess and despise her own divinity. She doesn’t care about the fact she is considered to be a god, she lives by her own rule, free spirit.

Quotes

  • Ivana Lolahas quoted4 years ago
    A happy man is too occupied with his life. He thinks he is beholden to no one. But make him shiver, kill his wife, cripple his child, then you will hear from him. He will starve his family for a month to buy you a pure-white yearling calf. If he can afford it, he will buy you a hundred.”
  • Arooma Zehrahas quoted2 years ago
    I thought once that

    gods are the opposite of death, but I see now they are more dead than

    anything, for they are unchanging, and can hold nothing in their hands.
  • Arooma Zehrahas quoted2 years ago
    “We are not our blood,” he answered.
