Circe (2018)

Miller reclaims Homer's dreaded sorceress, presenting her not as a vindictive caricature but as an isolated divinity whose strange voice and botanical craft terrify gods and mortals alike. Exiled to the island of Aiaia, Circe lives alongside untamed predators and wields witchcraft as protective armour against brutal seafaring men. Her internal narrative exposes the cruelty of Olympus, reframing her monstrous reputation as the rational response of a woman navigating an uncaring cosmos.
