- Circe: The Black Sorceress.
- Picture credit: "Circe", J. ...
- In Greek mythology, Circe was the daughter of Helios, the driver of Apollo's sun-chariot. ...
- Circe is best known for her role as enchantress and hostess in Homer's Odyssey. ...
- At the heart of the island, they found Circe's palace. Circe was there, attended by her maidens. ...
- With the aid of Hermes, who provided him with an antidote to Circe's swine-brew, Odysseus was able to resist Circe's magic and compel her to set his men free. After this, Circe had an utter change of heart, and welcomed Odysseus and his men with all honesty and grace. ... Circe, though reluctant to lose him, nonetheless advised him well as to his travels -- what dangers awaited him, where he should go, and so on. ...
- Circe had not always been as gentle and kind as she was to Odysseus. ... She fell in love with Picus, but he was already happily involved with Pomona; when he did not return Circe's affections, she turned him into a woodpecker. ... This time, Circe did not turn her rage against the man whom she loved; rather, she used her dark powers to transform the lovely Scylla into the hideous monster who haunted the Straits of Messina in partnership with the whirlpool, Charybdis. The image above depicts Circe in the act of poisoning Scylla's bathing pool with magic herbs designed to spark the nymph's metamorphosis into a creature with twelve feet, six heads, and dozens of sharp-toothed, barking dogheads sprouting from her midriff. ...
- Clearly, Circe's powers were substantial, especially in light of her connections with the Underworld. ... To top it all off, being the daughter of Helios, Circe was immortal -- free to work her magics without any threat of death hanging over her head. ...
- Given her tendency to use her powers towards a jealous end, it is curious that Circe would end up becoming so hospitable towards Odysseus, especially when the time came for him to leave her and return to his wife. ... If it can be assumed that Circe's nature remained consistent, it seems more likely that she would have been hurt and enraged, and ended up turning Odysseus into Babe the pig. ...
5. CIRCE AND ULYSSES
- www.pulli.com
- 'CIRCE' AND 'ULYSSES'.
- In keeping with the Homeric framework of James Joyce’s Ulysses, the chapter set in Nighttown is loosely based on the ‘Circe’ chapter of The Odyssey. In Homer’s epic, Circe is a beautiful enchantress, daughter of the Sun, granddaughter of the Ocean, and sister of a wizard, and she dwells in luxury upon an island. ... Circe is more than happy to welcome them into her home, and all but one, who fears trickery, enter. Once she has them inside, Circe herself prepares a delicious meal for them, adding to it a potion to cause them to forget their homeland. ... Meanwhile, the one member of the search party who did not enter Circe’s castle becomes alarmed when his companions do not return, so he rushes back to Odysseus to report. Odysseus immediately sets off sword in hand for Circe’s castle to try and retrieve his men. On his way there he is intercepted by the god Hermes (or Mercury) who warns him of Circe’s magic and gives Odysseus a herbal antidote to her potion. Hermes advises Odysseus to draw his sword phallic weapon and threaten Circe’s life when she tries to transform him with her wand. This will terrify Circe into submission satisfying the patriarchal hierarchy , at which point Odysseus must extract a promise from her to do him no harm before agreeing to lie with her; without such a promise, Hermes warns him he will end up naked and vulnerable in Circe’s bed masculine fear and distrust of the ‘other’ . Odysseus follows instructions, and Circe becomes enamoured of the one man able to resist her spells and charms. Odysseus convinces her to restore his men to human form, and he and his entire crew spend a full year banqueting as Circe’s pampered guests.
- By setting the ‘Circe’ chapter in Nighttown, the part of Dublin wherein the whorehouses are concentrated, Joyce is explicitly conflating the witch with the prostitute. ... Circe’s island in Homer is paralleled to Dublin’s red light district in Joyce’s Ulysses. Circe’s ability to turn men into swine is thereby more easily seen as a metaphor for how women can use their sexuality to make men behave in a bestial fashion. ...
- Bloom, Stephen, and Lynch are wallowing in the mire, like Odysseus’s men as pigs in Circe’s sties, when they enter the stew or brothel of Bella/Bello Cohen. ... Socially, they have descended as far as it is possible to do in Dublin by entering the prostitution district, just as Odysseus’s men have fallen from castle to sty under Circe’s spell.

- Circe or (Kirke) is the daughter of Helios (The Sun) and Perseis (the daughter of Okeanos).
- Circe waits for lost sailors to come wandering to her door as supplicants. Normally, a traveler is treated as a special guest but with Circe, travelers are drugged and then served as dinner.
- As the men walked from the beach they could hear sweet singing from Circes home in a forest glen. Wild lions and wolves (drugged by Circe) came, wagging their tails, to greet the strangers. ... As Circes vile drugs took effect, the once valiant men began to change shape and were soon fully transformed into swine. Circe herded them into pens and threw pig food on the ground before them.
- He would not leave his men as swine and he would not risk any of the other men in a fight with Circe. Odysseus went to Circes palace alone.
- Hermes told Odysseus that he could entrap Circe and free his companions if he obeyed the gods orders. ... Odysseus took the good medicine and went boldly into Circes house. ...

- "Aeneas, I warn you, keep away from Circe's shores!" Macareus 2, a companion of Odysseus, to Aeneas. ...
- Circe is the witch living in the island of Aeaea, who was visited by the ARGONAUTS, and Odysseus.
- Circe was a powerful witch who, with the help of herbs, muttering incantations, or praying to her weird gods, could turn men into animals, or create unsubstantial images of beasts. ...
- But as witchcraft may make a victim also of him or her who practises it, the nights of Circe could be wasted in fear because of the uncontrolled visions that filled her house. ...
- For Circe is said to have been surrounded by all kinds of beasts which cannot be seen elsewhere, having an appearance that reminds of what earth produced out of primeval slime. And yet, when others came to the palace of Circe, they also saw many beasts, but of the regular kind, that is, such as lions, bears and wolves, which however, acted as domesticated animals, showing their kindness by wagging their tails. Some say that these were actually the drugged victims of Circe. ...
- The abode of Circe .
- The witch Circe, whose hair resembled flames, lived in Aeaea, an island which could be located off the western or eastern coast of Italy, where she was brought by her father Helius. ...
- The same could be said of the simpler name Aea, which is the name of the city whence King Aeetes, Circe's brother or perhaps father, ruled Colchis (Caucasus). And as Aeetes is said to come originally from Corinth, some have called her "Circe of Corinth", but those who have thought Aeaea to be an island west of Italy have called her "Ligurian Circe". However, it has been said that on the larger of the two islands called Pharmacussae, which are close to Salamis off the coast of Attica, the tomb of Circe could be seen in ancient times. ...
- Still others have suggested that the mountain Circaeum, which was in ancient times the southern boundary of Latium in Italy, could have been the abode of Circe, for this mountain, being surrounded by marshes and sea, looks like an island. And there was in Circaeum in ancient times a little city and a temple of Circe, and visitors and tourists were shown a bowl, which the locals said had belonged to Odysseus. ...
