Circe's main magical attacks all deal with polymorphing humans into animals
of one type or another. Towards this end she has every magical device capable
of turning creatures into other creatures (polymorph wands,
polymorph potions, polymorph scrolls, and the like).

She is the one who intercepted the hero Odysseus and his crew, changed the crew
into pigs, and fell in love with Odysseus. She always wears revealing
black gowns to meet mortals. She is almost immortal and does not
appear to age. Circe also possesses great prophetic powers and can give
useful advice if she wishes.
 

Question: In reading through past issues of DRAGON Magazine, I
noticed that several times characters and monsters have been described
differently from the presentations in the official AD&D books.
I now have two different versions of Circe, Medea, the phoenix, and several others.
Which version is correct?
