There are many different accounts of the Cyclopes, they first being immortal giants locked in the pit of Tartarus by Uranus and rescued by Zeus during the Titan war. The Cyclopes that Odysseus meets on his travels were a different breed altogether. Circe was a sorceress skilled in metamorphosis and necromancy. Each dangerous in their own way.

Odysseus convinces Circe to release his men and then There is then quite a lot more story - but at the end Odysseus leaves with his men, and they can continue with their journey. Odysseus sent some men out and those men were turned into animals. When Odysseus tried to set them free she said she would not do it unless he lay with her.
What areas is Circe the goddess of?
in response to "Circe was not a goddess but a sorceress who kept Odysseus captive for a number of years. duh... ya'll shud no dat L.O.L >: p" Circe was indeed considered a Goddess, the Goddess of Sorcery, in fact. It's mentioned many a time in The Odyssey, Odysseus even refers to her as a goddess. She mixed concoctions and added them to the drinks of men who came to her island after she'd had her way with them. The potions caused them to turn into animals. Odysseus was the only one who whithstood her power thanks to a drug called moly given to him before hand, and Circe was so taken with him that she let his men go free, turning them back to human, but prettier, more toned than they previously were. Further more she only housed Him and his men for one year, before his crew convinced him to resume the journey home. And she didn't keep them captive at all, they stayed of their own free will and left of their own free will as well, with provisions sent with them from Circe. She even went so far as to warn them what was ahead and give them directive on what they should do to survive. They even returned to her after their venture to the world of the dead for one more night of feasting before they resumed the voyage home with all the information they'd gotten from the underworld, and she helped them again, further warning Odysseus of what lies ahead. i guess i rambled a bit, but my point was Circe is a goddess, yes. a low caliber one, but one none the less, the goddess of sorcery. and Odyssseus and crew weren't kept captive, but as guests and only for one year.
Why does Circe consider Scylla a less serious threat than charydbis?
Because Charybdis, being a whirlpool, would destroy Odysseus' entire ship and subsequently, all of the men on it. Scylla, on the other hand, would only kill the men that she could snatch up. Therefore, if Odysseus were to pass closer to Scylla, more of his men would survive.
