What happened between Circe and Odysseus?
Circe is the witch-goddess that Odysseus and his crew meet after leaving the Cyclops Polyphemus's island. Odysseus sends a party of 23 men to search Aeaea (the name of the island and Circe's home). Circe invited them into her home and gave them food, but they all behaved like pigs, so that's exactly what Circe turns them into. Eurylochus, one of the men, does not eat, and he runs back to Odysseus to tell him. When Odysseus leaves, he meets Hermes, the messenger god who gives him a plant to protect him from the magic of Circe. being unable to defeat Odysseus, frees his men, but persuades Odysseus to stay with her. after the seasons pass though, Odysseus asks her to help him and his men go home. Circe tells him to seek out the blind prophet Teiresias in the land of the dead for a prophecy about his journey.

What was the name of the goddess who turned men into pigs then ate them?
Ok, you've got a bit confused there. You're clearly thinking of Circe, who wasn't a goddess, but a nymph. Her father was Helios, god of the Sun, and her mother was Perse, an Oceanid. She did transform Odysseus' men into pigs, but at no point did she eat them. Odysseus saved them by making love to Circe. Simple really: shag a bird to get what you want

According to Hesiod, Circe bore three children from her union with Odysseus. They were Ardeas, Latinus and Telegonus.
