نص القصة المصورة
- Circe, written by Madeline Miller
- Change, he must be a God. Change. (28)
- Circe, I am changed! I can go with you now. I can go to the gods' halls. Will you take me?(29)
- This is the first time Circe dabbles in her magic (although she isn't aware she's a witch yet), and she uses flowers to turn her beloved Glaucos into a god so he would be swayed to marry her.
- Timeskip...
- Glaucos asked me to marry him. I have not decided yet what I will say.
- Whatis your counsel, Circe? Should I take him, blue skin, flippers, and all?(31)
- Circe weeps when the flowers do not work, thinking Aeëtes had been wrong that the flowers didn't have power like he said. She believes Glaucos would be lost forever, and he will never be able to love her if he is not turned into a god.
- this'll def work >:)
- Circe realizes she had been using the herbs wrong, and squeezes the sap into Glaucos' mouth as he rests, speaking her words of power and turning him into a god. When he realizes he is changed, he asks Circe to take him to the gods halls, where they openly welcome him to stay with them until he gets a palace of his own.
- She was bucking, her shoulders writhing. Her skin turned gray and her neck began to stretch.
- From it tore five new heads, each filled with gaping teeth.(34)
- Tell it again!
- Glaucos falls for the nymph, Scylla, who uses him for luxuries such as large pearls and a home in his newfound palace. Scylla, being the arrogant girl she is, tells Circe the big news, that Glaucos asked Scylla to marry him knowing that Circe was in love with Glaucos. Circe knows that Scylla doesn't really love Glaucos, and runs off to tell him in hopes that he would love Circe back once more.
- When Glaucos rejects Circe's romantic advances, she decides to take matters into her own hands and get revenge on Scylla. Circe goes to where Scylla bathes every night, and puts sap into the water, which would show Scylla's truest, ugliest self. She takes this risk all for a man who doesn't love her back regardless of the dangers, showing her naivety.
- Scylla is changed into a monster, all due to Circe's naivety and selfishness. In the end, she loses Glaucos, is eventually banished to Aiaia, and will have to deal with monster-turned Scylla later in her story. These events are also important points in Circe's character development, because they illustrate how Circe started off as a jejune girl, and as we travel through her story she becomes an independent woman.
