Circe by Madeline Miller

Breathing life into the ancient world - this is a tale of Gods and heroes, magic and monsters, survival and transformation.
Circe, born of Gods with the forbidden gift of witchcraft struggles to fit into her farther's (Helios) world. Exiled for using her witchcraft to create Scylla, Circe lives her life except for when she helps birth the minotaur and finds freedom on the island Aiaia. The story is woven around Circe's life and family - she is part of Hermes, Daedalus, Jason, Odysseus and the Gods, recounting the stories that fascinate us about the Gods.
An excellent, all absorbing read.
