The main character is Gryllus, a talking pig who has just finished saving the world from utter chaos, when he decides he wants to become human once more. In order to do this, he has to set out to find Circe, the witch who turned him into a pig in the first place, and ask her to change him back. Sibyl, the ex-priestess, and Homer, the soon to be epic poet, come along for the ride.
