Ukubuyekeza izinganekwane zakudala zokunikeza amanoveli amasha ngokudonsa kwe-epic futhi okumnandi sekuvele kungumthombo osebenza kahle. Amacala wakamuva afana nalawa Neil Gaiman nencwadi yakhe Izinganekwane zeNordic, noma izinkomba eziqhubeka zisabalala phakathi kwababhali bezincwadi zamanoveli zomlando ziqinisekisa ukuthi ukunambitheka kwezinganekwane zakudala phakathi kukankulunkulu nomuntu, abantu basendulo ababenakekela ukuziqamba ezinsukwini ezikude zokusa kwempucuko yethu.

Futhi-ke, ogwini lweMedithera sikhathazeke kakhulu ngalokho okuthinta izwe lasendulo laseGrisi noma iRoma. Yilapho-ke UMadeline miller Ugcina ngokusinqoba ngolwazi lwakhe olujulile ngale ndaba kanye nenhloso yakhe yokufunda yokuthi asinikeze ithagi elithandekayo njengomlimi.

Esikhathini esiyigolide, lapho okuvela khona inkolelo enamandla ebonakalayo enkolweni yokuqala, sihlangana noCirce, owathi kamuva wagqama njengomthakathi njengoba kulandiswa nguHomer kusuka kuleso sisekelo sokuqala esabekwa nguHesiod.

Ezweni lama-titans singathola futhi lelo phuzu lokuqabuka, intsha enhlanhlathayo nobufazi kusondele njengezwe elingajwayelekile kuma-aedos noma ama-rapporteurs okuqala aphethwe nguHomer uqobo.

Futhi kusuka kwaCirce, uMadeline ulandelela indaba enengxenye yokuziphindiselela, ekhombisa njalo futhi enamandla amakhulu emibhalo. Ngoba ekudingisweni eCirce, efunwa nguyise uqobo uHelios, indlalifa yamandla angaqondakali ibhekene ne-adventure elingana ne-Odyssey yase-Ulysses uqobo.

Esinye sezithombe zokuqala nezinamandla kakhulu zobunzima kwisici saso sabesifazane, sama-phobias ngokuhlukile. Lokho kuphela uCirce akwanele futhi kukhona okwanele ukuphuma kuzo zonke izinto ezimbi azithola ngendlela yakhe enesizungu.

Noma kunjalo eCirce sithola ukuthi yize kukhona konke ashukunyiswa uthando, ngamandla, mhlawumbe ephikisana nenhloso yombalisi wakhe wokuqala. Ngubani esikhathini esedlule owayengazenza umphikisi womhlaba ophethwe onkulunkulu futhi unikelwe kubantu ogcina ngokukhombisa njengomphefumulo ophilayo ozwa ngaphezu kwabo bonke, onkulunkulu nabantu. Ngokubuyekezwa okusha ngakunye, yena, umthakathi, uyaqina futhi abumbe insimbi yakhe ngokuya ngokwengeziwe.

Inoveli exhumanisa konke okuhlobene nabasendulo futhi okukugcwalisa ngombono oqhaqhaqhaza kumlingiswa kaCirce, umthakathi wokuqala.
