He tells Odysseus him and his men found a woman named Circe who tricked them into coming to her house and proceeded to turn the rest of the crew into pigs by putting a spell in their meals.

Against Eurylochus' advice, Odysseus decides to go back to try and save his crew. He ends up meeting Hermes along the way, who gives him a flower called Moly, telling him it will help him in his battle against Circe.

As he enters her palace, Odysseus finally meets Circe, who reveals she has turned his crew into pigs to protect her nymphs who have been hurt by previous travelers who arrived in her island. Odysseus reveals she can't hurt him because of the Moly flower he ate and they engage in battle.

To her surprise, Odysseus refuses, speaking of his love for his wife Penelope, saying she is the reason he needs go back home. Moved by his love, Circe tells him of a dead prophet called Tiresias who might be able to help him. She decides to free Odysseus' crew from her spell and help them reach the Underworld in the hopes that maybe showing kindness to someone might help them be kinder down the road.
