What’s included & condition
About each story — vivid retellings of myth
Galatea [Hardcover] — In Ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor is gifted by a goddess: his statue comes to life as the most beautiful woman the town has seen. Expected to embody obedience and humility, Galatea surprises him with her own desires and a yearning for independence. This short, evocative retelling explores autonomy, art, and the cost of possession.
Circe — A bold, bestselling author’s reinvention of a lesser-known goddess. Born to Helios, Circe is neither terrifyingly godlike nor conventionally beautiful. Scorned by gods and uneasy among mortals, she discovers a dark, transformative power: witchcraft. Banished to the island of Aiaia, Circe hones her craft, tending herbs, taming beasts, and redefining what it means to be powerful. Ideal for readers who enjoy atmospheric, feminist retellings and strong character arcs.
The Song of Achilles — Set in the age of Greek heroes, this poignant novel follows Patroclus, an awkward prince, who becomes entangled with the radiant Achilles. Their relationship deepens as they train in war and medicine, challenging the expectations of gods and men—especially Achilles’s mercurial mother, Thetis. A moving exploration of love, destiny, and heroism that has earned wide acclaim from readers and critics alike.
