What did Circe tell Odysseus about the sirens?

Answer 1

Circe told Odysseus where the sirens were, what they did, how to get past them safely, and how to listen to their song without dying. She tells them to make earplugs out of softened beeswax so they can't hear the Sirens. And, if Odysseus wanted to still listen (for whatever reason), then he must be tied down and all his men must make sure he can't escape.

Circe tells Odysseus everything that is going to happen to Odysseus and his men on the way home to Ithaca, Circe tells him that all his men are going to die and only Odysseus will live and be able to make it home, he tells him about the siren's and what they do to try to get you to do what the siren's want you to do. And when the siren's sing its so beautiful, that its like an illusion to make you have to listen to it so you just zone out and they drag you into the island and then your ship wrecks and you can die by starvation, the ship smashing into the island, or the siren's will EAT you alive or dead. I think that i heard that the siren's have six heads, that's why Odysseus has to sacrifice 6 of his men to 6 of the siren's mouths so that they can get through the siren's territory and move on to there home Ithaca. While Odysseus has been away for years and years, his wife is at home wondering this whole time if he is dead or alive but in the meanwhile guys are coming into Odysseus house trying to marry his wife and trying to move in and take there money and Odysseus stuff, and his son was born while after he left now Odysseus son is all grown up and never met his dad or has had a father figure around him his whole life.

Answer 2

Sailors with wax in their ears, and a man tied to the mast of their ship go past a dangerous island that is deserted of people, lovely to the eye, and has cliffs so one could climb up from to the shore, and neither would a ship fair well against them. The song begins and Odysseus is the only one who can hear it, he longs to see the sirens, but tied as he is he can do nothing to endanger himself; he struggles and pleads with them, but his men do not hear him and ignore his actions as they had been instructed. They go past the island and Odysseus ceases to struggle against his bonds or ask them to free him. They then go on.
