I am the greek Goddess Circe, although I'm considered more of an enchantress or sorceress than a Goddess. I am the Goddess of witchcraft and I am known for turning men who offend me into animals, usually pigs. I do this using magical potions made of drugs and herbs. There are many legends and tales of how I transform men into animals, but a popular one is when I turned a group of salors into pigs by tricking them into drinking drugged wine and food. I then herded them into pens and fed them acorns. The men I transform all have the shape of animals, but they still have the minds of men. I built myself a palace surrounded by men that I turned into lions and wolves. It is located on the island of Aeaea, now known as Mount Circeo. I am the daughter of Helios, the sun God and Perse, the Oceanid. My siblings are Aeetes, Perseis, and Pasiphae. The God Odyseuss and I had three sons named Romus, Anteias, and Ardeias who founded the three cities Rome, Antium, and Ardea.
Through this blog, we will extend our learning beyond the classroom walls. We will think, write, read, and create. We all promise to be respectiful of one another's views and opinions and to question with integrity, curiosity, and understanding.
