Circe Invidiosa
John William Waterhouse
 Who knows not Circe,
The daughter of the Sun? whose charmed cup
Whoever tasted, lost his upright shape,
And downward fell into a groveling swine.

Circe
Wright Barker
 When they reached Circe's house
they found it built of cut stones,
on a site that could be seen from far,
in the middle of the forest.
There were wild mountain wolves
and lions prowling all round it -
poor bewitched creatures whom she had
tamed by her enchantments and
drugged into subjection.

from The Odyssey
Homer
