Aeaea

The enchanting and comely sorceress Circe lived on the island of Aeaea. She welcomed Odysseus’ sailors to her feast, but when they became greedy and devoured everything, she turned them into pigs. They were treated like swine, placed in a pig pen and given fodder to eat. When Odysseus came to rescue his men, she tried to turn him also into a pig, but he would not succumb to her dark magic as he had been given a plant by Hermes to protect himself. Circe later went on to stay with Odysseus for several

Upon arrival, “mountain wolves and lions were roaming round the grounds/ -she’d bewitched them herself, she gave them magic drugs” (10. 231-2). These animals ran up to Odysseus’ crew

In Homer’s The Odyssey, “Book 10: The Bewitching Queen of Aeaea,” Circe is initially depicted as a powerful and commanding character who takes charge of whatever scene she is present in.

The Euthalia was a blessed boat of the god Zeus, named after one of his lovely children and meaning flower or blossom. It was a gorgeous vessel that was made of hand crafted wood with large sails and about twenty oars to help steer and propel the ship.
