Odyssey

Homer

Homer names Perse as Circe's mother by Helios — the Oceanid behind the witch of Aeaea whom Odysseus meets.

Theogony

Hesiod

Hesiod lists Perseis among Oceanus' daughters and makes her, by Helios, mother of Circe and Aeetes — the genealogical root of Colchis and Aeaea.

Circe

Perseis' daughter by Helios — the sorceress of the Odyssey whose drugs and staff turn men to beasts; the Oceanid mother is the quiet stem of that fame.

Aeëtes

King of Colchis, keeper of the Golden Fleece — another child of Helios and Perseis, brother of Circe and Pasiphae.

Perse (mythology)

Oceanid wife of Helios, also called Perseis — mother of Circe, Aeetes, Pasiphae, and Perses; not to be confused with the Titan Perses.
