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.

Odysseus wished to avoid the island of Helios altogether. Unfortunately his men were tired and hungry and didn't want to keep going on. So Odysseus finally consented to let them land on the island as long as they made and oath not touch the cattle that was on the island. They stayed on the island for many months and one day while Odysseus was off praying the men decided to disobey and slaughter some of the steer. Because of this they are killed and Odysseus barely escapes with his life.
