She's not a goddess, only a very powerful sorceress- as someone else said. She wasn't really on very good terms with some of the Greek pantheon.

Yes/No. It depends on what interpretation you have. See, the problem is her father was Helios who was a God and Mother was a small body of water so shes not considered human. She is seen a a godess but can also be seen as a nymph or a sorcerress or simply a witch.

"In Homer’s epic, Circe is a beautiful enchantress, daughter of the Sun, granddaughter of the Ocean, and sister of a wizard, and she dwells in luxury upon an island."

when Odysseus' crew stopped at her island, she gave them food, hospitality. In their eating and actions, they acted like pigs, so she turned them into pigs. there may be other important parts, but that is what i remember most.

She is immortal, but she isn't usually considered a deity.
