1 the cup of Circe
чаша, напиток Цирцеи ( превращающий людей в другие существа) [этим. миф.; в "Одиссее" Гомера этот напиток превратил спутников Одиссея в свиней]I did not even mistrust the cup of Circe. Ah! she made a pig of her admirer, that ancient enchantress; and in Miss Lushington's presence the admirer makes an ass of himself. (G. Whyte-Melville, ‘Inside the Bar’, ch. I) — Напиток Цирцеи - и тот не вызывал у меня сомнения! Ведь древняя волшебница превратила своего поклонника в свинью, а в присутствии мисс Лашингтон ее поклонник превращался в осла.
