It was not hard to hear the sirens. He just listened, and could hear their sweet enchanting song. Sirens do not destroy men directly by their song; they sing and if the victim hears the song, they then try to get to the source by swimming and die of drowning or by wrecking their ship.In order to hear the sirens without being led to his doom, Odysseus was tied and bound to the main mast of the ship by his men. He warned his men of the Sirens and had them plug their ears with wax so they could not hear.

In Greek mythology, the Sirens are dangerous creatures, part bird and part woman, who lure sailors to their deaths with their enchanting voices and music. They are often depicted as beautiful but deadly, living on rocky islands surrounded by treacherous waters. Odysseus encountered the Sirens on his journey home in Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey."
