Join the room“And Circe the daughter of Helius, Hyperion's son, loved steadfast Odysseus and bare Agrius and Latinus who was faultless and strong: also she brought forth Telegonus by the will of golden Aphrodite. And they ruled over the famous Tyrsenians, very far off in a recess of the holy islands.”
“By the advice of Circe he shunned the passage by the Wandering Rocks, and in sailing past the cliff of Scylla he stood fully armed on the poop.”
“With charms did Circe turne and change Ulisses fellowes shapes”
“His bodie was as straight as Circes wand,”
“This the house of Circe, queen of charms,—”
“Circe of the Sudanese dancing world. A glitter of tinsel, a jingle of myriad dangling coins, vivid touches of scarlet among embroidered vestments, shapely arms that curve and float in graceful butterfly gyrations a lithe mahogany form of exquisite contour, and a pair of large black animated eyes; this is the Nubian dancing-girl—a siren of the lands of the desert.”

Circe es un personaje ficticio que aparece en las publicaciones de DC Comics y los medios relacionados. Basada en la figura mitológica griega epónima que encarceló a Odiseo en la Odisea de Homero, es una hechicera malvada y una adversaria recurrente principal de la superheroína Wonder Woman. Ha sido presentada de diversas maneras desde su primera aparición en Wonder Woman #37 de 1949, aunque su caracterización ha conservado consistentemente un conjunto clave de características: inmortalidad, una belleza física impresionante, un poderoso dominio de la hechicería, una inclinación por convertir a los seres humanos en animales y, a menudo, un deleite en la humillación.
