How does the danger posed by the sirens compare to that posed by the lotus eaters?
Sirens would have sung them to their deaths, or wrecked the vessel along the cliff if a sailor took it in his head to drive the ship to the shore to get to them. The Lotus-eaters did not cause harm or threaten to kill them but drugged the men into a blissful state from which they did not want to leave.
