In Greek mythology, Circe was the witch goddess or enchantress on the island of Aeaea, who detained Odysseus and turned his men into swine. This artwork was influenced by that story............I took my interpretation of this encounter to an intergalactic level, where Circe is depicted as a living planet and this is the menacing site as the men approach her orbit!!
