Circe was a divine sorceress. She was banished to Tartarus by Hippolyta for transforming innocent people into animals. History In Ancient Greece, Circe became infamous for luring men to her island and changing them into animals. For her crimes, Circe spent some time in Tartarus with Medusa, in whom she confided her hatred for Hippolyta. She was granted an early parole, should she promise to leave Hippolyta alone. When she was breaking into the Natural History Museum, Circe was intercepted by Batman and Wonder Woman. She took this opportunity to get back at the Amazon Queen by getting to her daughter and transformed Wonder Woman into a pig.
