Fairy Song Of Circe I Comments

It's a wonderful poem. And Homer never thought of such a characterization of Circe. I know Circe is a dangerous goddess to men and the male gods have exiled her to the far regions of the Earth but they must be afraid of trying to kill her, because she might be transformed into something awesome. Personally, I think once Hermes's gift of M-O-L-Y tames her wild spirit she is then the best thing that happens to Odysseus - OK, his son and wife are the very best things - but that still puts Circe in second place for blessings.
