Madeline Miller’s writing is so impeccable. I don’t know how you can read anything by her—even this short story—and not be amazed by her words. I knew nothing of the source material and I didn’t need to. A great little story about strong women and the inevitable downfall of awful men.

Even though quite short (short story), Galatea is rather reflective and heavy upon feminism when one thinks about it. I loved it!

I'm glad this was short. Not only does it not have to include filler pages and plot points, but it is more precise with the meaning.
