Circe Kirkh Circé


CIRCE: Welcoming the crew of the Odyssey to her tower.

Circe is the enchantress with a thousand spells. She has created a tower of knowledge in which she intends to keep the secrets and legends of every creature in the universe. The tower has a gravitational pull so strong that no passing spaceship can escape.

Once a spaceship is caught Circe captures the crew, extracts from them their knowledge, then turns them into pigs. Having forgotten who they were, the pigs become Circe's slaves and spend the rest of their lives labouring away at the thankless task of building her tower of knowledge.

In The Magic Spells of Circe, Circe captures the crew of the Odyssey. She offers to free them and give them the route to Earth if Ulysses agrees to stay with her. The plan is thwarted when Circe's librarian, Hermes, reveals himself to be a servant of the gods and destroys the tower.
