Long ago, in a far-away place called Ithaca, lived a man named Odysseus. He was the king of Ithaca, bigger, better, stronger, smarter, than any other man. Odysseus was

so magnificent, in fact,

that people thought

him to be a god.

One day, Odysseus was called to war. His smart ideas won the war. But, when the war was over, he did not go back home. A god named Poseidon was angered at him for blinding his son, Polyphemus. So, Poseidon made sure Odysseus and his crew never made it back home to Ithaca.

After many years of sailing, they reached an island. Odysseus searched around for something, any clue as to who could live there. He spotted something in the distance.

He ordered that his men split up into two groups and to go look for and inspect the object he discovered.

What one of the groups found was Circe's house.

Circe is a very powerful goddess that lives in a large golden house and uses her magic

wand to turn men

into pigs.

A crew member knocked on the massive, magnificent, shiny golden doors.

But, when they were invited to enter, the leader of the group was skeptical, sensing it was a trap. So, he stayed behind, while the others proceeded to enter.

Soon after they entered, they began eating and drinking. And before he knew it, right before his eyes, Circe swung her magic wand and...

turned his crew into swine!
