Circe+2



Nurse, now that Odysseus has left, Let me enlighten you on my plan. You realize what fools men are To fall into my traps again and again. They underestimate my power! All because of my beauty, Although I wouldn't blame them. Watching the disgusting hogs ravenously gobble up the food I so generously lay out for them, I couldn't contain my repulsion, And turned them into the pigs they are! I shouldn't have transformed those idiots into pigs though. No. Dogs would suit them better. Such gullible animals! Who would even assume they were Odysseus's men. Ah…Odysseus… Unfortunately he didn't fall for my plan. He would have made a lovely lion, Though I suppose sleeping with him is just as good an alternative. A woman of my stature, intelligence, and beauty Deserves strong and cunning men. What a coincidence that Odysseus is the one To land on the shores of my island. Help me, Nurse! Help me convince Odysseus to stay on my island. We can send him down to Tiresias Where he'll learn of his comrade's death. Then he'll have to return to bury the body Where we shall be waiting I'll turn on my irresistible charm And hopefully keep him here forever!
