Cicre warned Odysseus not to listen to the songs of the sirens, but he was detirmined to! So he had his crew tie him to the mast of his ship as he rowed past. He ordered them to all fill their ears with wax to block out the song. He also told then that once he was tied to the mast they were not allowed to let him down, no matter how hard he protested.
When they sailed past Odysseus heard the song and desperatley wanted to go to the island, but his men, as ordered, did not let him down, only when they were past the island did they let him down.
Odysseus gave his men beeswax so that they would not be able to hear the Sirens who would lure them to their death.
They plugged their ears with wax
He tells then to put beeswax to cover their ears so they cant hear the song of the siren and the men protect him by tying him to the mast so he cannot not come down when sirens sings
If you are talking about the Sirens story: because he wanted to protect his men from the Sirens' singing, but he wanted to hear their songs himself.
Odysseus had the men stuff their ears with wax so they could not hear. He ordered the men to tie him up to the mast, and not release him until he stopped struggling. In this way, Odysseus acted as a signal showing the men when they were a safe distance past the sirens.

Yes, Odysseus and his crew were tempted by the Sirens' enchanting song as they passed by. In order to resist their allure, Odysseus had his men plug their ears with beeswax and had himself tied to the ship's mast to avoid succumbing to the Sirens' song.
He wanted to experience the singing of the sirens.
Odysseus chooses to protect himself from the sirens by having his men tie him securely to the mast so he can hear their enchanting song without succumbing to its effects. This is different from how he protects his men, who he orders to plug their ears with beeswax to avoid hearing the sirens' song and being lured to their deaths. Odysseus knows he is curious and will be tempted by the sirens' song, so he takes measures to ensure his own safety while also safeguarding his crew.
the sweet songs of the sirens lead their men to death
The song of the Sirens hypnotized his men into yearning to sail toward the island at which they resided luring them to their doom.
Odysseus should be wary of the sirens because their enchanting songs can lure sailors to their deaths by causing them to crash their ships into rocks. The sirens' irresistible melodies can lead sailors astray from their original path, putting them in grave danger. If Odysseus listens to the sirens' song, he risks losing his crew and failing in his journey back home.
