=== Literature ===
* Happens to Odysseus in ''[[Odyssey|The Odyssey]]''. After Circe had turned all his men into animals, Odysseus attacked her with his sword. She was surprised by this, but laughed at his futile attempt to fight and made him her lover. Afterwards his men were turned back into people and they all quite happily spent a year feasting on her island. The alternate myth (used in Homer's version), has Odysseus raping Circe (on the advice of Hermes) after using a magic plant to become immune to her powers.
** Later in the story, after he was the [[Sole Survivor]] of his crew, the muse Calypso found him and forced him to be ''her'' lover. She tried to convince him to genuinely love her, but eventually realized it was pointless, and let him go.
