  Consortium</a></p>\n<p>A fascinating conversation with Madeline Miller\, 
 bestselling author of&nbsp\;<em>The Song of Achilles&nbsp\;</em>and&nbsp\;
 <em>Circe\,&nbsp\;</em>as she chats about her body of work and her process
  in retelling Greek classics into modern epics in fiction.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>
 In <em>The Song of Achilles\,</em>&nbsp\;seduced by the promise of a glori
 ous destiny\, Achilles joins the heroes of Greece in the&nbsp\;siege of Tr
 oy after the kidnapping of Helen of Sparta. Little does he know that the c
 ruel Fates will test them all as never before and demand a terrible sacrif
 ice.</p>\n<p><em>Circe</em>&nbsp\;is the story of the daughter of Helios\,
  the god of the sun. Circe is a strange child--neither powerful like her f
 ather nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mort
 als for companionship\, she discovers that she does possess power: the pow
 er of witchcraft\, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the
  gods themselves.</p>\n<h5>About the Author</h5>\n<p>Madeline Miller is th
 e #1&nbsp\;<em>New York Times</em>&nbsp\;bestselling author of two novels:
