Answer:
Although Circe is a powerful goddess, Odysseus seems more powerful than she, as the threat with the sword leaves her fearful of being attacked.
The encounter between Circe and Ulysses reveals that Ulysses is extremely brave to help his crew and is not afraid to challenge even the gods, if necessary.
Step-by-step explanation:
Circe is a powerful goddess and a witch who has the ability to transform the men who invade her island into beasts like lions and tigers.
At a certain point in their journey, Ulysses and his crew disembark on the island of Circe. Ulisses asks his men to enter the building where Circe lives and see if the building's residents are hospitable or hostile.
When the men entered the building and found Circe, she bewitched them and turned them into pigs. Upon hearing this, Ulysses decides to go to Circe and demand that his men be released, but he takes with him a plant that leaves him immune to enchantments.
Circe welcomes Ulysses with courtesy, when she fetched her wand to turn him into a pig, Ulysses quickly drew his sword and threatened to attack it if he did not release the men from his crew and stop the enchantments. Although a powerful goddess, Circe felt threatened by Ulysses' courage and begged him to let her live.
After that, she freed the men from the spell and Ulysses and the crew spent years on the island of Circe enjoying all the privileges she could provide.
