Rarely does the classic literature give us a rounded view of a woman subject to the same flaws and emotions as anyone: jealousy, desire, unrequited love; her witchcraft is perhaps not so much dreadful as awe-inspiring and led by nature. What we know of her story is piecemeal, from many sources. This enriching collection brings together new stories and ancient origins, offering a wider perspective on the whole life of the enigmatic, enchanting Circe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroductory essay by Imogen Dalton, and foreword by Dr Ellie Mackin Roberts.
