“Circe Offering the Cup to Odysseus,” by John William Waterhouse, 1891.

Circe was one of the most dangerous women a man could come across. She was known for seducing men, luring them to her island, and never letting them go.
When men, driven mad by their desire to touch her, visited the island, she caught them off guard and used a spell to transform them into pigs, trapping them forever in their ignominious bodies.
Could have been written by the Babylon Bee. Has some essence of truth.

Jack Nicholson in the Witches of Eastwick has something to say about seductive women. Funny

I saw that Waterhouse painting in a Pre-Raphaelite exhibition several years ago at the Royal Academy - remarkable.
