Ancient history

How did circe treat Odysseus and his men?

When Odysseus and his men arrived on Circe's island, she initially welcomed them and invited them to a feast. However, she secretly drugged their food and turned them into pigs. Only Eurylochus, who had stayed behind at the ship, was spared.

Odysseus, realizing what had happened, set out to rescue his men. On the way, he encountered the god Hermes, who gave him a magical herb called moly that would protect him from Circe's magic. Odysseus then went to Circe's palace and forced her to release his men.

Circe was impressed by Odysseus's courage and cunning, and she fell in love with him. She agreed to help him on his journey home, and she gave him advice and provisions for his voyage.
