Mythic Women Juxtaposed

   
 

 

CIRCE & MONICA

Circe was the daughter of the sun and was attractive to men. She seduced them by feeding them delicious food to which she had added potions which produced incapacitating effects so that they became focused on sensuality. When Odysseus visited her island domicile he was tempted by her charms, and barely escaped becoming one of the host of men whom the sorceress had changed into beasts.

Monica was a young woman who was attractive to men. She enchanted them by giving gifts, encouraging clandestine sexual activities and engaging in nocturnal phone sex. She used her seductive powers to produce incapacitating effects on men so that they became focused on sex and could not do productive work. Through her sorcery men were changed into beasts.
