Madeline Miller writes literary retellings of classical mythology, centring on characters overlooked or diminished in traditional narratives. Her novels—including *Circe*, *The Song of Achilles*, *Galatea*, and *Mestra*—bring psychological depth and agency to figures from ancient Greek mythology, exploring themes of identity, power, desire, and connection. Miller's prose is precise and character-driven, transforming well-known mythological tales into intimate studies of human emotion and experience. Her stories ask what these characters might have wanted, feared, and felt beyond the conventional narrative. Readers drawn to mythology, literary fiction, or works that interrogate classical stories from new perspectives will find her writing compelling.
