The witch Kirke turned Ulysses' companions into pigs. With the help of Hermes' antidote Ulysses could free them.
On their long odyssey from Troy back to Ithaca, Odysseus and his companions also reached the island of Aiaia. There they meet the sorceress Kirke. Kirke kindly invited Odysseus' companions to her house and offered them something to eat. But as soon as the men were intoxicated by the magic herbs in the food, they all turned into pigs. Ulysses quickly rushed to the aid of his friends. Thanks to an antidote he had received from the messenger of the gods, Hermes, he was able to resist Kirke's spell and get them to give his companions their human form back.
The play set includes two PLAYMOBIL characters Odysseus and Kirke, two pigs, a raft with a sail, a barrel and many other extras to re-enact Odysseus' exciting adventures.
