Circe.
     After leaving the island of the Cyclopes and visiting Aeolus, god of the winds, and the land of the man-eating Laestrygonians, where he lost all but one of his ships, Odysseus sailed to Aeaea, home of the sorceress Circe. When an advance party of half of Odysseus’s men arrived at her palace, she turned them into swine with a magical potion.
    Aided by Hermes (Mercury) who provided moly, a magical herb, Odysseus resisted Circe, but then agreed to become her lover on the condition that she return his men to their original form. After spending a year with her, during which time she bore him a son, Telegonus, Odysseus asked for her permission to return to Ithaca. Circe agreed, but told him that before he could reach his homeland he would have to descend into the Underworld to consult with Tiresias.
