Greek Daughter of the sun god Helios,
sister of Phaeton and Aeetes. The witch-goddess
of Homer's Odyssey, Circe cast powerful spells. She
turned all Odysseus's men into swine. Odysseus
escaped the curse with the help of an herb called moly
and spent a year with the enchantress. Eventually he
persuaded Circe to restore his men to their former
shapes and they all escaped from the witch. Circe also
appears in the story of Jason.
In post-Homeric stories, Circe bore Odysseus a
son, Telegonus.
