Summary: Madeline Miller's Circe

She was treated harshly because she was different. Her inferior status among the gods led her to isolation.

Circe was not beautiful like her mother Perse, nor powerful like her father, Helios. She wasn’t crafty like her siblings Perses, Aeëtes, Perses, and Pasiphaë. Circe was much odder looking, frail, and mortal in appearance more than divine.
