Circe

  • They take up port on the Aeaean island, home of Circe the nymph. Odysseus sees smoke from her halls. He kills a stag and they eat. On the third day, their party splits in two; one half is led by Odysseus, the other by Eurylochus
  • Eurylochus' party goes first to Circe's halls, and all but he are turned into pigs
  • Odysseus goes, and with help from Hermes, Circe releases the crew. She convinces Odysseus to bring the whole crew to feast, and Eurylochus is against it
  • They stay 1 year, then Circe wants Odysseus to visit Persephone in the House of Death and ask Tiresias how to get home
