Circe returns to Aiaia. Medea visits with Jason under her spell and received help before unceremoniously leaving. Aeetes chases after, and is revealed to be an asshole now.
Visitors from lost ships start visiting. They are all either rapists or people for Circe to rape. Then Odysseus comes, and Circe has a fling with him too before sending him home to Ithaca.
Basically all men are either cruel rapists or flings.

Telegonus returns with Telemachus and Penelope. Odysseus seized Telegonus' barb and died by its poison. That's why Athena wanted Telegonus dead. But turns out Odysseus was a bad guy who turned into a PTSD'd, paranoid, and murderous pirate. Now that he's dead, Athena wants Telemachus as champion, but since he refuses, the honor goes to Telegonus instead.

Apparently the rest of the novel is based on apocryphal summaries: Circe has a brat by Odysseus named Telegonus. Athena tries to kill him, but Circe somehow wards her off. When he grows up, she takes the barb of a made-up stingray-god Trygon and sends him off with it as protection to find Odysseus.

Circe wanders around the island and becomes fwb with Hermes. Then she gets called to Crete to deliver the Minotaur, and has a fling with Daedalus.
In dealing with Pasiphae and Daedalus, she learns what it means to be a god, a mortal, a noble, and a commoner. We also see her powers grow.

Just past the origin story. Circe has been inspired by Prometheus, explored the world, been "Don't You Want Me Baby"d by Glaucos and monsterfied his lover Scylla in revenge, admitted to that crime, and is about to be exiled. Pretty compelling stuff so far.
