The sirens threatened the lives of Odysseus' men so he had wax put in their ears and had them sail past the island while he alone wanted to hear the siren song, so he was tied to the mast of the ship, in this way he and his men survived the dangers of the sirens who could sing a man to his death.

In Homer's "The Odyssey," the Sirens are mythical creatures who use their enchanting voices to lure sailors to their deaths. Odysseus encounters the Sirens during his journey home from the Trojan War and cleverly navigates the danger by having his crew plug their ears with beeswax and tie him to the mast of the ship so he can hear their song without succumbing to its fatal allure.
