Circe was powerless against Odysseus because he was protected by the god Hermes, who provided him with a magical herb called moly that rendered him immune to her witchcraft. Additionally, Odysseus demonstrated cleverness and resilience, confronting Circe with confidence and demanding that she release his men. His ability to outsmart her and gain her respect ultimately led to her compliance. Thus, his divine protection and strategic approach rendered Circe's powers ineffective.
