Circe is important to Odysseus because C: Circe warned Odysseus that the Sirens' songs would be irresistible to him and that he should take precautions to avoid succumbing to them.

Explanation:

Circe was an eternal goddess who wanted to protect Odysseus while he was returning home. She also had magic powers with which she used to turn Odysseus's men into pigs. Sirens were crying beauties and had irresistible voice. They used to attract men with their songs and then the sailors used to die.

When Odysseus decided to leave Circe's island, she advised him to protect himself and his crew while they are passing through the island of Sirens. According to Circe they should all put beeswax in their ears to avoid listening to Sirens songs.
