Once Odysseus realizes that the Circe is turning his men into pigs he runs to rescue them. On the way he is greeted by Hermes who gives him an herb called Moly. Odysseus is suppose to eat the flower which will stop him from changing into a pig and then he is supposed to draw his sword whenever she tries to drive him into the pigsty/cage. The Circe breaks down and Odysseus must agree to have sex with her in exchange for not having her use her powers against him. She then turns all his men back into humans and is now a nice person.
