| | Circe, Greek Mythology Link. |
 | | 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. |
 | | Circe loved him, but he, being in love with the singer Canens, daughter of Janus, refused her, not imagining what a scorned woman was able to do: Turning twice to the east and twice to the west while touching Picus thrice with her wand as she sang her charms, Circe turned him into a woodpecker. |
 | | At night, Odysseus and Circe retired, and before his departure the day after, she described for him the dangers that still awaited, instructing him as how to avoid the SIRENS and still listen to their enchanting song, and warning him, among other things, about the rocks that are the abode of Scylla 1 and Charybdis. |
