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.

How did circe help and hinder Odysseus?

Circe hinders Odysseus by first turning his men into animals and delaying Odysseus' progress. Once Odysseus manages to resist her spell (with Hermes' help), Odysseus then take her to bed for her to turn his men back into humans. For a year after, Odysseus feasts and stays with Circe, which further delays his return to Ithaca. When Odysseus and his men feel it is time to leave, Circe helps Odysseus by advising him to visit the prophet Teiresias in the Underworld. There he learns of the dangers ahead of Scylla, Charybdis, the Sirens, and Helios' cattle.
