Odysseus was on the island of Aeaea, home to the sorceress Circe, when Hermes entered the cave. He had been transformed into a swine along with his men by Circe and was seeking a way to break the spell. Hermes arrived to provide guidance and assistance to Odysseus, giving him the magical herb "moly" to protect him from Circe's enchantments.
