Reading language: Greek

I usually avoid reading books on greek mythology, although a Greek myself. And yet, this one made the difference. Miller created an amazing novel that highlights the life of Circe and showcases the emotional waves of Greek women of that period, but also of today. 
It was an honour to read.
