Circe

June 1, 2000 BC Dear Diary,

I have decided to keep a diary for someday when I have passed on the future can read about my life and how powerful I am. I am the daughter of Helios, and I am the most powerful enchantress besides Hekate. I am most well known for when men come to my island I turn them into swine and as far as I am concerned the dreadful men are nothing but pigs disguised as humani. I also helped my neice Medea when she was in love with Jason of the argonauts and the gods were angry with them becauset they forgot to sacrifice to them. When they came to me I felt as if Jason would turn against Medea one day. And look at that he DID! But I calmed the gods down and because of me they were allowed to pass through smoothly in the sea.

So ever since that incident, I have been weaving great tapestries on AEan Island my own private paradise where I can get some relaxing time and I can sing and practice my sorcery.

Today was quite an eventful day. Some very rouge and strange men docked on my isle. About half of them came knocking on my door. They stayed there for quite some time shouting and pushing my door to be opened. I tried to ignore them and just weave and sing but they just kept on shouting, so I finally grabbed my wand and opened the door and I turned those disgusting men into pigs! I quickly herded them into the swine pen. There, finally peace and quiet at last.

Also today the god Hermes called by and told me there would be a wise man that wouuld come to my island and try to stop me. Ha! I would like to see him try. Maybe I will turn him into a buzzing fly and then I will swat him down over and pver and over again for I will give him immortality and he will have to keep flying. That would be very fun!

Well, today was a terrifying day. Hermes was right, today a man did come and try to kill me. This man was Odysseus and he held a very sharp and very pointy sword to my throat and demanded that I would release his men or I would die at his hand. I could not turn him into anything because that dreadful hermes gave him a herb that would make him invunerable to magic. That does not help me! But I realeased his men and now they happen to be dining in MY dining room. I do not know how that happened but all I remember is that Odysseus asked me to let them eat. I happen to be a good hostess so I let them stay.

Odysseus has told me he leaving tommorow. He needs to return to Ithaka and join his family again. I have told him about all the dangers he must face to return home. I have told about the Sirens on how they sing of their hearts desires, I have told about Scylla and her sister Charybdis on how they snatch up sailors and ships. I have told them about the sun gods island on how they must not kill his cattle or else there would be a terrible wrath. I am rathered worried about him and hope he will make him home.
