When did Circe die?
There doesn't seem to be a report of her death, so, as a mythological goddess, she may not have. She was exiled at one point, and some legends say that she later moved to Italy.
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
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.
