Summary: Circe learns the following day that Prometheus is chained to a rock, where he is mauled everyday by an eagle, quickly forgotten by everyone. Circe is sympathetic toward Prometheus, but there is nothing she can do. Perse gives birth to a son, Aeëtes, and Circe takes him under her care. The two establish a strong relationship. Pasiphaë is to wed Minos of Crete to the disgust of her mother, who hates mortals. On their wedding day Circe is taken to meet the Olympians for the first time. She looks forward to seeing mortals for the first time, but is not impressed when the time finally comes. Her brother takes her to see the Olympians but Circe is instead drawn to Daedalus, a brilliant mortal inventor. Then Aeëtes suddenly reveals to Circe that he is leaving for a kingdom of his own to Circe's shock and disappointment. Perses leaves shortly thereafter. Circe is left in despair, lonely as ever.
