Circe

In EPIC: The Musical, Circe is a complex, strategic guardian who uses her magic defensively to protect her island and her nymphs from mortal men. After turning Odysseus's crew into swine, she engages him in a high-stakes clash of wits. She ultimately becomes a compassionate ally when Odysseus's fierce loyalty to his wife, Penelope, moves her to show mercy, restore his men, and guide him toward the Underworld.
