A beautiful retelling of a famous myth. The character development was well done and for a story that I assumed would be focused on the ins and outs of a complicated hero, it was even more raw and human and emotionally invoking than I could have imagined. My heart has gone through its own journey meeting these mythological figures through Madeline Miller’s eyes.
