Circe strode on through the halls and out,
her wand held high in hand and, flinging open the pens,
drove forth my men, who looked like full-grown swine.
Facing her, there they stood as she went along the ranks,
anointing them one by one with some new magic oil –
and look, the bristles grown by the first wicked drug
that Circe gave them slipped away from their limbs
and they turned men again.
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 10, lines 429-436. Circe accedes to Odysseus’ demand that she restore his men, transformed into pigs, back to normal.
