I'd like to apologize for making a fuss about the reference in Circe's page first and foremost. But I'd like to clarify a few things before I make a change to the page further to avoid an edit war.

I would like to just say that when making a reference, it should be in present tense. I think disregarding timeline would be the best way since it shows it "does happen". Assuming it was "still happening back in their time", thus a present tense would be highly appreciated in structures like this.

Up the note, I did look around the meaning for the ritual behind kykeon and I was treated to multiple references of drinking kykeon "to reach Elysium". In other words, it is said Ancient Greek drank kykeon to discover what lied beyond their deaths, hence my wording. However, I also felt if a ritual is mentioned, it's best to describe in the most minor of detail what the ritual is. Otherwise, as a reader, I'm left thinking "but what sort of ritual is it about?"

However, I still feel the reference is below necessary. I think it's better it's described in a way that has relations to Circe and why it's important to Circe. Something that answers the question to "why Circe keeps talking about kykeon?". According to what I looked up, Circe often mixes honey into kykeon to create her potions, as underlined in the ''Odyssey. '' Perhaps if this is mentioned instead of talking about a ritual, then I think this reference would be better suited for this wiki.

My plan is to reword the entire thing like this: "Kykeon is a drink of oats, barley, and other ingredients suspended in wine. In the Odyssey, Circe mixes honey into kykeon to create her potions." Please do tell me what you think of this.

Anyway, thank you for your time in reading this. Please do reply soon.
