The myth of Circe and Picus
Picus was a figure in Roman mythology, the first king of Latium. He was the son of Saturn. Picus was also described to be quite handsome, sought after by nymphs and naiads. The witch Circe attempted to seduce him with her charms and herbs while he was on a hunting trip, but he savagely rejected her. She turned him into a woodpecker for scorning her love. When his comrades accused Circe of her crime and demanded Picus' release, she turned them too into a variety of beasts.(For my collaboration with the ig page @MeetMyths)Jun 26, 2021
