ilias asked Madeline Miller:

would you write a love story that has to do with egyptian or norse mythology ? btw i love your work, especially "the song of achilles "

Madeline Miller Thank you! I love both Norse and Egyptian mythology, and if there was a character or story that was calling to me from either, I would certainly go for it. It would take a lot of research, since I don't have the same foundation in them as I do in the Greco-Roman world, but that can be a good thing. And I always enjoy looking at epics from different traditions: recently, I've been rereading the fascinating Icelandic Sagas. But currently, my writing attention is still on Greek myths (and Shakespeare).

Hi! I adored reading The Song of Achilles and Circe. I love your writing style, the way you take these Greek Myths into an understandable story is awesome. I have been wanting to read Galatea by you, but I am having trouble finding a hard copy. Where could I find one?? Thanks!!!
