Eurylochus
Polites entered Circe's palace and was soon followed by all of Eurylochus' men (except for Eurylochus himself). Circe invited them for dinner and added a magical potion to the meal. Eurylochus' men were then turned into pigs.
Circe greets the men in the palace, but Eurylochus does not enter the palace.
Eurylochus was given command of 22 men to explore the island, (half of the crew). They meet Circe, and feast at her house. However, Eurylochus being suspicious, does not eat of the food or drink the wine. When the crew members are turned into swine, Eurylochus runs back to the ship to warn Odysseus. Later when Odysseus comes back, and Eurylochus does not want to go back to Circe's palace, Odysseus is angry enough to behead him, but is stopped by the rest of the crew.
