故事非常像希腊神话中喀耳刻的艾尤岛，艾尤岛上魔女们会给男旅客们提供掺杂魔药的饮食。
然后把他们变成猪。
不知道活动中海岛上哪位才是真正的喀耳刻
附
喀耳刻的神力
我从没有把任何人变成猪。
有些人就是猪；我把他们
变成猪的样子。
我厌恶你们的世界
它让外表掩饰内心。你的随从们并不是坏人；
不加约束的生活
使他们变成了这样。作为猪，
它们在我和女伴们
爱护之下
马上就温和了。
于是我倒念咒符，给你看我的好
还有我的神力。我看见
我们在这儿能够幸福，
正如男人和女人
当他们只有简单的需要时。同时，
我预见到你将离去，
由于我的帮助，你们敢于迎战
凶猛咆哮的大海。你认为
几滴泪水就让我心烦意乱？我的朋友，
每个女巫在内心里
都是实用主义者；没有谁看到本质而不能
面对局限。如果我只是想留下你
我可以把你当作囚犯扣留。
Circe's Power
I never turned anyone into a pig.
Some people are pigs; I make them
look like pigs.
I'm sick of your world
that lets the outside disguise the inside. Your men weren't bad men;
undisciplined life
did that to them. As pigs,
under the care of
me and my ladies, they
sweetened right up.
Then I reversed the spell, showing you my goodness
as well as my power. I saw
we could be happy here,
as men and women are
when their needs are simple. In the same breath,
I foresaw your departure,
your men with my help braving
the crying and pounding sea. You think
a few tears upset me? My friend,
every sorceress is
a pragmatist at heart; nobody sees essence who can't
face limitation. If I wanted only to hold you
I could hold you prisoner.
