It is not the island of circle, but rather the island of Circe. On this island, the witch Circe turns Odysseus's men into pigs. After being warned of his mens fate, the god Hermes gives Odysseus a herb that will protect him from sharing the same fate. The only way that Circe will change his men back, is if Odysseus sleeps with her, so he does, and his men are returned to their human form.
