According to Greek Mythology, Circe, a wicked sorceress from the past, accidentally transports Scrooge and the boys back to time of Ancient Greece, where they meet up with Homer.
This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
- Carnivore Confusion: After she turned her cat into a pig for messing up her time-travel spell, Circe threatens to "have pork chops for dinner" if he doesn't get out of her sight.
- Forced Transformation: Predictably, a meeting with Circe ends with Scrooge transformed into a pig.
- Furry Confusion: Circe is a pig, who turns people into non-anthropomorphic pigs, and in a fit of Laser-Guided Karma is turned into a non-anthro pig herself.
- Historical In-Joke: The entrance to Ithaquack, when Scrooge and the boys get to see it in the past, is straddled by a colossal statue. This is a reference to the Colossus of Rhodes, which in some histories was described in just this fashion in relation to the Rhodes harbor.
- Magical Barefooter: The only time Circe wears shoes is when she's shapeshifted to resemble someone else.
- Mind-Control Eyes: When the Sirens enthral Scrooge, his pupils turn gold.
- Our Sirens Are Different: Where sirens are typically portrayed as some form of mermaid, the sirens depicted here are a singular monster with three heads on tentacles above a monstrous face with a mouth large enough that it almost ate Scrooge with one bite.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Homer helps Scrooge and his nephews reclaim his kingdom of Ithaquack from Circe.
- Shout-Out: To The Odyssey.
- Slow "NO!": Parodied: Circe does one when the nephews throw away her medallion, then falls from midair when the slow motion stops.
- Time Travel
