{"product_id":"9780252063565","title":"Transformations of Circe","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeginning with a detailed study of Homer's balance of negative and positive elements in the Circe-Odysseus myth, Judith Yarnall employs text and illustrations to demonstrate how Homer's Circe is connected with age-old traditions of goddess worship. She then examines how the image of a one-sided ''witch,'' who first appeared in the commentary of Homer's allegorical interpreters, proved remarkably persistent, influencing Virgil and Ovid. Yarnall concludes with a discussion of work by Margaret Atwood and Eudora Welty in which the enchantress at last speaks in her own voice: that of a woman isolated by, but unashamed of, her power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185400938770,"sku":"9780252063565","price":52.76,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780252063565.jpg?v=1774735620","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780252063565","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
