Abstract


The world of witchcraft and magic sometimes appears in mythology; for example in Odyssey, the witch Circe poisons Odysseu's friends, transforming them into pigs and Mermes provides the antidote which saves them. With the support of the oíd botanical consultants and the popular tradition and mythology we will try to demónstrate the identity of phármakon of the witch, which in fact conceals a mysterious plant. The same proceedure will be foUowed in the Identification of moly —a plant found in the Parnaso mountain with healing properties similar to those of the ruda.
