Circe
In
Greek mythology,
Circe (;
Greek Κίρκη
Kírkē ) is a
goddess of magic (or sometimes a
nymph,
witch,
enchantress or sorceress). By most accounts, Circe was the daughter of
Helios, the
god of the sun, and
Perse, an
Oceanid. Her brothers were
Aeetes, the keeper of the
Golden Fleece, and
Perses. Her sister was
Pasiphaë, the wife of
King Minos and mother of the
Minotaur. Other accounts make her the daughter of
Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft herself.
