Circe - Mythology. 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.
