Beskrivelse
A captivating short story from Madeline Miller, inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, featuring Mestra, the daughter of the King of Thessaly. With a gift from Poseidon and a cursed father, she faces a difficult choice.
A tale of transformation, family loyalty, and the struggle to break free.
Mestra, blessed with the extraordinary power to transform into any creature she imagines, is the daughter of Thessaly’s king. Her father, however, suffers under a cruel curse for offending the goddess Demeter-an endless, ravenous hunger that can never be satisfied.
Determined to help, Mestra offers to use her unique gift to ease her father’s torment. But as his appetite knows no bounds, she soon faces a painful dilemma. How much will he demand from her before she must choose between aiding his survival or seeking her own freedom?
This shimmering story of human weakness and resilience solidifies Madeline Miller’s reputation as a master storyteller of mythology.
