Description

The name 'Circe' means 'falcon.' She was said to be the daughter of the Sea Nymph Perseis (daughter of the Titan Okeanos) and the Sun God Helios, the driver of Apollo's sun chariot; alternately, she was said to be the daughter of the goddess Hecate and Hermes. After poisoning her husband, Circe fled into exile on the island of Aeaea (Aiaia) off the west coast of Italy. The name of her island was said to come from the grief wail. She was a beautiful woman and she lived in the center of the island in a palace, where she was attended by Nereids and Nymphs. Circe was the sister of King Perses of Tauris, King Aeetes of Colchis (a mighty wizard) and Queen Pasiphae of Minos. Circe's favorite pastime was weaving as she sang. Circe was renowned for her knowledge of magick and poisonous plants. Cats were sacred to her. She could fly on a magick staff, brewed her potions in a brazen cauldron, and could fortell the future. Circe had the power to transform men into beasts (mainly pigs), and women into monsters, particularly serpentine ones. Hope you don't mind but she's supposed to have red hair but I liked the lilac better. Artistic license I guess. lol Dynamic Dress and shawl are from 2Gather Again at 3DCommune :), DAZ's Big Milcat, Aiko, Cyclorama and Protrait props. Thanks so much for your comments which are appreciated. :)
