Here Piggy, Piggy, Piggy, come to Circe

Circe, the powerful sorceress, had a passion for transforming those she disliked into lions wolves and  pigs. 
Apart from eliminating her foes, the latter had the added benefit of adding fresh meat to her larder.
Circe /Kirke was the daughter of the sun god Helios and ocean nymph Perse and became the Goddess of Sorcery. She lived on the island of Aeaea/Aiaia with nymphs when she was visited by Odysseus and his crew. With the help of Hermes, Odysseus saved himself and his crew from Circes spells. She bore three children with Odysseus before he abandoned her and the children (spoiler, one of the children, Telegonus, will eventually kill Odysseus).
Circe and her pigs are plastic pieces from  Mystic battles. I painted Circe in 2020 and the three separate piges  last month.
