"In the wild wood they found an open glade, around a smooth stone house -- the Hall of Circe -- and wolves and mountain lions lay there, mild in her soft spell, fed on her drug of evil... they faced our men like hounds, who look up when their master comes with tidbits for them... Humbly those wolves and lions with mighty paws fawned on our men -- who met their yellow eyes and feared them" (Book 10, lines 1-11).
