One of my absolute favorites!
Napoli tells a beautiful and brilliant tale of a young siren who leaves her sisters and befriends Philoctetes, the wounded greek warrior abandoned by Odysseus on the isle of Lemnos. This story fills in the blanks between Homer's Iliad and the Greek playwrights who told of Philoctetes return to the Trojan War and his pivotal role in the Greek victory.

I saw everyone posting about mermaid‘s and I just had to post my favorite mermaid story... I felt like this book was haunting and it‘s one that stuck with me for a long time afterward. I highly recommend it. Also had to post my geisha mermaid tattoo. I love mermaids 🧜🏻‍♀️! Behind my kindle is a sleeve that I‘m adding soon to my Etsy shop, which also has a touch of mermaid!💜💜💜. #mermaids 🧜🏻‍♀️🧜🏻‍♂️
