Previous Episode: Mini Myth: Zodiac Constellations, Definitely Not Overreacting, Aries the Golden Ram

Next Episode: Mini Myth: It's Circe, Not Cersei, One's a Badass Witch & the Other's a Badass B--

Odysseus and his men visit Aeolus, keeper of the winds, the Laestrygonians, and finally land on the witch Circe's island of Aiaia.
A general mythology warning: far too many Greek myths involve assaulting women. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
