The 'Other' Odyssean Weaver: Circe in Contemporary Poetry

Panel: 
Classics (Greek)
Abstract: 

Appropriating Circe’s myth in The Odyssey, contemporary poets such as Louise Gluck, Carol Ann Duffy, Sheila Russell and Margaret Atwood re-vision an alternate tale that debunks the heroic, exposes male/female inequality, dis/recovers identity and expresses the mythmaking process.
