Circe and her Strange Enchantments

Your Turn...

1. Write a monologue from Circe's point-of-view. What is her side of this story? Why does she turn men to swine? What does she think about Odysseus? What does she think about the way Zeus, through Hermes, controls the love-lives of minor goddesses such as herself and her sister-goddess, Calypso? Write your response.
2. We're beginning to sense some discord in the crew. Reassess Odysseus's leadership abilities. What are his strengths and weaknesses? Similarly, evaluate his crew. How are they doing? Write your response.
