My name is Circe, I am the sorceress of Aeaea and the goddess of magic, sorcery, and witchcraft. I wanted to write to you to let you know that your husband is alive and well. I have been helping him and his crew make sure they are protected for their journey home, and I give Odysseus some crucial guidance. I also wanted to write to say I'm sorry. I didn’t know at first that you too had a child; to be honest, even if I had known, I would have still done it. But as a mother myself, I can’t shake the guilt of sleeping with your husband. I do understand why you fell for him, he is a quaint an interesting person. I have met my share of people like him, but he was the first one in a while that someone has caught my attention. That is why I pursued him and didn’t care that he was taken. But now I see the error of my ways. My hope is that you could possibly forgive me, or at the very least, forgive him. Even though he was cheating on you, he would tell me how much he missed you and spread his time with you. He wishes that he had chosen to stay with you. That is why I’m writing this letter to you, in the hope that if you can’t forgive me, you could at least forgive him.

Sincerely, Queen of Aeaea
