Back then, the women were considered animalistic (look up Dyonisus and the later Roman cult of the Bacchanalia) and men were the greater being (ex. Athenian women were not even considered citizens). A woman transforming men into animals was like emasculating them. Basically, the woman conquered the man.

Circe is a witch! She's making Odysseus men drink some kind of potion and transforms them to an animal. She is also a (kind of)"mistress" of Odysseus!

She was a sorceress and turned some of his men into pigs at a dinner feast by slipping poison in their food and drinks. One of them got away and went back to the ships where Odysseus and his other men were waiting and warned him about it. The god Hermes told him to eat a special herb that would protect him from the spell so that he wouldn't be affected by it and meet the same fate as his men.

She turns a lot of his men into various animals. She also distracts them from their mission. It's been a while since I've read the Odyessy, but that's what I remember.
