Help with beginner and eye pieces!

Sorry to trouble you all, but I recently purchased a Meade telescope (the ETX125EC). I was looking at Saturn last night and I could just make out the rings. Realistically it appeared as one ring circling a dot. I was just wondering what eyepiece I need to make Saturn look bigger? Is it the barlow lenses that magnify? Sorry for such a beginner question but I couldn't find a "newbie" guide to lenses and what they do (especially one with pictures that demonstrate the differences)
