The paper is in English because it is dedicated to Philip Stadter. It offers a brief but philologically conducted demonstration that the dialogue between Odysseus and the sorceress Circe – as well as the heated discussion between Odysseus and the “pig-man” Gryllus – (A) takes place on the beach of Circe’s island, Aeaea, not in her dwelling; (B) happens during the last night on the island, just before Odysseus’ departure – on his ship, with his companions; (C) refers therefore to the timing of the 12th book of the Odyssey, not of the 10th. Clearly, Odysseus is leaving Circe after a year’s love with her.
