"Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses" is an oil painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, completed in 1891. The artwork is a representation of a scene from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey," where the enchantress Circe offers a potion to the hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Latin) to turn him into a pig, as she had done with his crew. Waterhouse's painting captures the moment of temptation, with Circe depicted as a seductive and commanding presence, extending the cup to Ulysses, who stands wary and resistant to her charms.

The painting is a testament to Waterhouse's fascination with classical mythology and his ability to blend classical subject matter with the stylistic elements of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, of which he was associated. The work is characterized by its rich color palette, meticulous attention to detail, and the romanticism that is typical of Waterhouse's oeuvre. "Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses" is notable for its portrayal of the psychological drama between the characters, set against a backdrop that evokes the mythical and exotic world of the ancient Greeks.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Waterhouse's interpretation of mythological themes and his place within the broader context of 19th-century British art. The work remains an important example of Waterhouse's artistic legacy and continues to be studied for its narrative complexity and aesthetic beauty.
