Circe

This work is a part of my project 'Right to Rage' exploring the emancipatory force of female rage. This work was inspired by the novel 'Circe' by Madeline Miller - retelling a story of goddess Circe from her perspective. Greek myths were told by men (Ovid, Homer, Hesiod, Euripides, Sophocles etc), and interpreted mostly by men too, and now women scholars and writers research and retell the stories from female perspective, showing the other side of the narrative. Here Circe is represented as a powerful witch who has discovered her true self, stopped seeking validation from others and let's be honest, had good reasons to turn /some/ men into pigs.
