Circe
Madeline Miller
Madeline Miller
Recommendation inspired by:
The myth of Jason and the Argonauts - Iseult Gillespie
Circe is my favorite telling of mythological stories in any medium. I grew up obsessed with mythology; my copy of D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths has been picked over more than Prometheus's liver. Circe takes the gods, heroes, and monsters I found so enchanting as a child, and weaves their stories together into a lush tapestry that takes on the most ancient subjects of storytelling, like power and transformation and identity, in a way that couldn't be any more modern. It's fascinating and smart and beautifully written.

Hi, we’re the TED-Ed team -- the scrappy group of educators and animators who produce over 140 free, high-quality, educational animations for you every year. We’d really like to start recommending books to you, too. Here's why...
We spend months researching the topic of every TED-Ed episode, and in the process we almost always discover books that explore the video's subject matter to a level of depth that only books can achieve. It’s a joyful experience — digging deep into a topic and understanding the world a little better as a result. We want you to discover those books and have that experience, too.
That’s why we’ve invested time to partner with publishers and utilize existing affiliate link programs to begin independently recommending books at the end of TED-Ed episodes on a rolling basis.
