Circe of Aeaea – Great women of Greek mythology

Beware washing up on Circe’s island: you will likely find yourself transformed into a pig. This is precisely what happens to Odysseus’ men when they land on the isle of Aeaea during their epic journey home. Who is this goddess living here alone, surrounded by enchanted animals? And how will she deal with the famous Odysseus, a man unwilling to put up with anything that will stop him from getting home?
GREAT WOMEN OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY is a series of short books for young and old introducing readers to the ancient world through its heroines. These books aim to bring readers on a journey filled with excitement, drama, death and love, all while focussing on the women that have played such an important role in our history yet are still remembered as mere bystanders.
