the ancient greek heroes were not moral exemplars at all.re very complex, they had huge strengths and also huge faults, and so i really wanted to honour that in all of the characters — particularly circe — to make her a person that is three—dimensional, complex with those flaws and strengths as well. and, of course, you turn her into a figure who still has the powers, immortality and the ability to turn people into pigs and other things if she wants to and doesn't like them, which she uses, but you give her a humanity. she changes nappies. it's a dangerous game. you were a high school classics teacher by trade. do you ever think i'm letting this side down? i certainly have worried about the classics police and getting kicked out of the classics club, but i think that most classicists agree that the stories live because they are retold and they have been retold so many times over the years in so many contradictory ways and that's why they are still with us. and it's no accident that they've been told, because they are fundamental stories. fol
