Madeline Miller
“I had not fooled myself with false hope. I was a goddess, and he a mortal, and both of us were imprisoned. But I pressed his face into my mind, as seals are pressed in wax, so I could carry it with me.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

“Commentators like the historian Cathy Gere have repeatedly pointed out that the “restored” Minoan palace came to resemble modernist works—Lenin’s Mausoleum or Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoy.”
Stefanos Geroulanos, The Invention of Prehistory: Empire, Violence, and Our Obsession with Human Origins
