Circe (Greek mythology)
1 Reviews
(4)
YA
Although the title suggests that this story belongs to Odysseus's wife Penelope, who waited twenty years for the warrior-king to return from the Trojan War, the novel actually retells portions of his adventures through the eyes of four women--Penelope, Circe, Athena, and Eurycleia (his old nursemaid). Girls drawn in by the female point of view may ultimately be disappointed that the entire story still revolves around Odysseus.
