Circe was quite knowledgeable when it came to herbs, potions, and such. “Of the three female sorceresses, Circe, Pasiphae and Medea, Circe was regarded as the most powerful of the three, and able to concoct powerful potions, but Circe was also said to have power to hide the sun and moon as she willed.” Circe was pure power, and had the abilities to punish any who offended the goddess.

Odysseus; he was spared due to an herb named moly Hermes had given before Odysseus's trip. Later in the Odyssey, we find Odysseus to capture Circe from advice of Hermes. Once Circe was captured, eventually she was forced to release the men she had once turned to swine. Though "She knew a lot about potions and herbs, and sometimes used this knowledge against her enemies and people who offended her, turning them into wild animals.”, Circe had become a hostess and lover of Odysseus for a year due to how well she would treat Odysseus.

A theme to connect to Circe, is that though she pleased Odyessus for a whole year before he had decided to leave, she had the power to turn him and all his men into swine if she wanted to; As such, we can see her show that through the comforts and pleasures offered, there can be a punishment if not noticed.
