In Homer's "The Odyssey," when a man hears the Sirens' enchanting song, he becomes mesmerized and is compelled to draw nearer to them despite the dangers. This usually results in the man's ship crashing on the rocks, leading to their demise. Odysseus is able to survive by having his crew tie him to the mast and plug their own ears with beeswax.

∙ 13y agoWhen Odysseus hears the Sirens, he frantically struggles to free himself and join the Sirens. He wants to join them, which would lead to his death. However, being already tied to the mast, he cannot do so. His crew mates laugh and tie him up even firmer upon seeing his struggles.
Eventually, he no longer hears the song and stops struggling.

What do the Sirens try to convince Odysseus to do?
Odysseus hears the song and thinks to join them, as the siren song will cause a man to lose all sense of survival and swim to the cliffs which surround the island the sirens live upon and in that way drown - or the man might try to navigate the ship onto the shore and in this way crash upon the reefs. The end result in both cases would be death. The Sirens themselves were trying to convince him that they knew the way home, and they could tell him, if only he came to them.

A mortal is said to be natural of being curious of almost anything, and Odysseus is no different.
