Circe was a Greek woman who lived within the ruins with her animals on Atoll Point during the 5th century BCE.

Biography

Claiming to be the mythical Circe of the Oceanids, Circe took up residence within a ruined temple near Alkaios Tomb on Atoll Point. She took in and tamed wild boars, lions, and pigs, surrounding herself with them. Circe lured in wanderers, poisoned them with wine and left them to the mercies of her pets while she claimed their valuables.[1]

At some point, Circe apparently met wife, and she too fell into Circe's trap. Leaving behind her bracelet, Leda left.[2]

During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan misthios Kassandra sought out Circe at the request of Barnabas, who had had a vision of her and Leda while under the effect of lotus flower wine. In the end, Circe fell to Kassandra's blade.[1]

Trivia

  • Circe is patterned after the Circe of Greek mythology, best known from Homer's Odyssey. Like her mythical counterpart, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey's Circe lives on an uninhabited, forested island, among tame boars, pigs, and lions and sings to them. They also both use wine to trap their victims.
