The Odyssey, Circe Changes Odysseus Crew to Swine

Circe is a goddess of magic or sometimes a nymph, enchantress or sorceress in Greek mythology. Circe was renowned for her vast knowledge of potions and herbs. Through the use of these and a magic wand or staff, she would transform her enemies, or those who offended her, into animals. The best known of her legends is told in Homer's Odyssey when Odysseus visits her island of Aeaea on the way back from the Trojan War and she changes most of his crew into swine. He forces her to return them to human shape, lives with her for a year and has sons by her. No artist credited, undated.
