Madeline Miller – Circe (Ben, Kirke) – İthaki Yayınları 2020 Edition

Description:

This is the 2020 Turkish edition of Circe (Ben, Kirke) by Madeline Miller, published by İthaki Yayınları and translated into Turkish by Seda Çıngay Mellor. The novel reimagines the story of Circe, the powerful witch from Greek mythology and Homer’s Odyssey, presenting the legendary character from her own perspective.

The story follows Circe from her childhood among the gods through her discovery of witchcraft and eventual exile to the island of Aiaia. Along the way, she encounters many famous figures from Greek mythology, including Odysseus, the Minotaur, Daedalus, Icarus, and Medea. Rather than portraying Circe simply as the dangerous enchantress of classical mythology, Miller gives her a more complex identity, exploring themes of power, independence, exile, love, family, and the struggle to define oneself.

For collectors of contemporary Turkish literature and modern mythology retellings, this edition represents the Turkish publication of one of Madeline Miller’s most acclaimed works. Originally published in 2018, Circe became widely recognized for combining classical mythology with a modern, character-driven narrative.
