The god Hermes gave Odysseus a plant to protect him against Circe's magic and tell him to make Circe swear not to play any witches tricks. Odysseus doesn't really ever listen to advice, so is he going to listen to Hermes?
What was the point of them even stopping at this island in the first place? Like Annie said. Why don't they just keep sailing home because obviously these little pit-stops aren't going so good.
Is Hermes like some scorned lover of Circe. Does he help Odysseus to get back at her then tell Circe Odysseus is coming so he can get back on Circe's good side? Is there more to Hermes' character?
Were the lions and wolves in the beginning actually men, and that's why they were so tame. Or did she just make them tame but they were already those animals.

Is Odysseus perhaps becoming less and less of a good leader? He has certainly lost the loyalty of some of his men.

How do they not realize that they have been there for years?
