Circe
The Greek sorceress of Aeaea whose drugs, incantations, and guidance transform Odysseus's voyage.
Legend File
Circe is danger with a library of herbs. On Aeaea she turns Odysseus's men into swine, yet she also becomes the one who restores them and teaches the hero how to pass through worse dangers. Her magic is not only a trap: it is knowledge of bodies, names, animals, desire, and the narrow road through transformation.
