Hermes provides Odysseus with a magical herb called "moly" to help him resist Circe's powerful witchcraft, which she uses to turn men into animals.

Additionally, Hermes advises Odysseus on how to confront Circe and instructs him to draw his sword if she attempts to harm him.

Odysseus commands her to swear an oath to do him no further harm, and after she has, he beds her. Afterwards he refuses to eat, and explains he cannot until he sees his men.
