Best Answer

He told his men about the sirens, sharing what Circe had told him. gave them beeswax to plug their ears from their song.

So that he could hear their enchanting, tempting song, Odysseus instructed his men to tie him to the mast, and only lash him tighter no matter what he says until they are past the sirens.
