Delia Maara is notorious in her quarter of Buenos Aires for the mysterious deaths of two of her fiancs. She lives in a twilight world and gains most satisfaction through the exercise of power over others. It emerges that she killed the two men by poisoning them with the sweets she makes; when this fails with her third fianc, he is freed from her fatal attraction by the knowledge.The mythical correspondences are explored by Sophie Dufays in 'Circ de Cortzar : au carrefour du mythe et du fantastique', Folia Electronica Classica, B Louvain-la-Neuve 2007, [http://bcs.fltr.ucl.ac.be/fe/13/circe.html Numro 13]
