Circe Invidiosa is a painting by John William Waterhouse completed in 1892. It is his second depiction after Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses (1891) of the Greek mythological character Circe this time while she is poisoning the water to turn Scylla Circe’s rival for Glaucus into a hideous monster. Anthony Hobson describes the painting as being invested with an aura of menace which has much to do with the powerful colour scheme of deep greens and blues [Waterhouse] employed so well.
