Greek Myths and Legends: Circe
Circe was the daughter of the sun and lived in Aeaea, an island located off the coast of Italy, where she was brought by her father Helius. The witch Circe, whose hair resembled flames had many abilities, the most well known being able to turn men into animals. She could also darken the heavens by hiding the moon and sun behind the clouds as well as being skilled with herbs and poisons. She is most remembered for her encounter with Odysseus, who was protected from her magic and his men, whom she turned into swine. You have to admire a woman like that
