Odysseus never fully succumbed to Circe's charms due to his strong will and the guidance of Hermes, who provided him with a protective herb called "moly." This herb countered Circe's magic, allowing Odysseus to resist her enchantments. Furthermore, his loyalty to his crew and his determination to return home to Ithaca motivated him to remain focused on his ultimate goal, preventing him from becoming complacent in Circe's alluring world.
