Based on the #1 New York Times bestseller from Madeline Miller, C I R C E is an brave and bold retelling of the Greek classical epic through an intimate scope that explores the iconography and archetype of the first witch in Western literature, who is often depicted as a menacing foe to heroes like Wonder Woman in pop-culture. In the house of Helios, mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful, like her father, nor viciously nymphomaniac like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess strength -- within the linguistic and herbal world of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace Olympus itself. Threatened, it is said that Zeus banished her to a deserted island, where she hones the roots of occult, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including monstrous Scylla and wily Odysseus. But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love. Brought to the screen by producers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Disney's Mulan, Avatar: The Way of Water), the 9-part saga is a marriage of magical realism, mythopunk, and feminist folklore celebrating the indomitable female strength against mankind's darkest fantasies.
