Circe turns Odysseus' men into animals by giving them a
wine/honey potion.
When Odysseus comes to find his men who
have not returned from a scouting expedition of the island, he runs into Hermes on the
way who gives him an herb (Mole) which will protect him from Circe's
spell.
With the herb doing the trick, Odysseus successfully
resists the animal-spell, which turns Circe on. The two of them retire to the bedroom
for years after that, until Odysseus again desires to return
home.
