The new stories and an extended introduction this new collection focus on the enchanting Circe of Greek mythology, featuring new perspectives on long-standing stereotypes. Enchantress, goddess, witch, predatory seductress? Inevitably, Circe has been best-known in these terms, through the male gaze of Homer, Hesiod et al., as interpreted by readers and storytellers until today. 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. About the series: Discover the mythology of humankind through its heroes, characters, gods and immortal figures. Myths, Gods & Immortals brings together the new and the ancient, familiar stories with a fresh and imaginative twist. Each book brings back to life a legendary, mythological or folkloric figure, with new stories alongside a comprehensive introduction which tells the original tales and emphasizes ancient and modern connections, tracing history and stories across continents, cultures and peoples. New and emerging writers from open submissions reveal hidden themes, casting fresh perspectives on well known stories, complementing the specially commissioned story of the origins and the cultural background from the era. The first titles are Medusa, Odin, Anansi and Circe. AUTHOR: Imogen Dalton ('Introducing Circe') is an academic of classical studies, specializing in mythology. As a freelance writer she has worked on articles and magazines on the subjects of mythology, spirituality and theology. Her interests also cover mythology from other ancient societies such as Norse, Celtic and Egyptian. Her background as an artist and a holistic therapist gives her a unique perspective on the energetics and rituals associated with ancient religions. She also has a YouTube channel where she discusses myth, religion and rituals. Hardback, Deluxe edition, foiled and embossed, with gilded edges
