What happened to Odysseus' men on the island of Circle?

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.

What was the name of the goddess who turned men into pigs then ate them?

Ok, you've got a bit confused there. You're clearly thinking of Circe, who wasn't a goddess, but a nymph. Her father was Helios, god of the Sun, and her mother was Perse, an Oceanid. She did transform Odysseus' men into pigs, but at no point did she eat them. Odysseus saved them by making love to Circe. Simple really: shag a bird to get what you want
