Virginia Woof | Circe & Song of Achilles | Gender & Sexuality in Greek Myth Retellings | Book Review @VirginiaWoof | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Gender, sexuality, and race in Circe & Song of Achilles and feminist Greek myth retellings more generally!
CW for discussion of how sexual violence comes up in the books and SPOILER ALERT for some plot points (mostly what's from the myths already).
I know the explanation of Ancient Greek social organization and citizenship was basic BUT LIKE YOU GET WHAT I'M SAYING
