Greek World - The Odyssey By Homer 

Part 3. Circe, the Sorceress of Aeaea

Aeolus, the master of the winds, resides on the floating island of Aeolia. He is portrayed as a hospitable ruler who receives Odysseus warmly and provides him with a critical aid for his voyage: a leather bag containing all the winds that might drive his ships off course, leaving only the West Wind free to guide them safely to Ithaca.

As Odysseus and his men sail back to Ithaca, they come within sight of their homeland. However, as Odysseus sleeps, his crew, driven by curiosity and greed and suspecting that the bag contains gold and silver given by Aeolus to Odysseus, opens it. The released winds storm out, driving them violently away from their home and back to Aeolia. When they return, Aeolus refuses to assist them further, believing that their misfortune must be a sign of the gods’ displeasure.

Circe, the Sorceress of Aeaea

After their disastrous detour, Odysseus and his crew reach the island of Aeaea, home to Circe, a powerful sorceress and daughter of the sun god, Helios. Circe is known for her knowledge of potions and herbs.

Circe invites Odysseus’s men into her halls and, using her magical powers, transforms them into swine after they consume her enchanted wine. However, Odysseus is warned by Hermes, who gives him an herb called moly, making him immune to Circe’s magic. When Circe fails to enchant Odysseus, she is so impressed by his resistance and cunning that she falls in love with him.
