Madeline Miller

Heracles' Bow

Atli 💗🧚🏽‍♀️

It really wasn't worth reading for me and it's got nothing to do with my lack on knowledge about Philoctetes. Because I read Percy Jackson when I was 15 without any knowledge about Greek mythology. I read shakespeare without knowledge of the era, but those plays were more enjoyable to be honest. There wasn't a clear plot, everything was all over the place...

This is not very good. Probably one of the first things she wrote I assume? I won't leave a bad rating since I like the author, but yea don't expect much from this one.

“Well?” Agamemnon demanded. “Can you do it?” 

Shoot him through the balls, Heracles urged. That will show them.

A short story about Philoctetes, a friend of Heracles'. MADELINE Miller's writing it very beautiful as always, but the story itself lacked point for me. Still don't regret spending some time with this novella.
