The Sirens try to convince Odysseus to stay with them by promising him knowledge and insight that only they can provide. They use their enchanting voices to lure sailors towards their island with the intention of causing their destruction. Odysseus resists their call by having his crew tie him to the mast of his ship so he can hear their song without being able to give in to its temptation.
Hermes advises Odysseus to use the herb Moly to resist Circe's enchantments. He tells Odysseus to draw his sword and threaten Circe with harm if she attempts to bewitch him. Finally, he instructs Odysseus to make Circe swear an oath not to harm him before he agrees to her hospitality.
If Odysseus goes to bed with Circe when she first asks, she will 'unman' him, that is, she will cut off his penis. Hermes tells Odysseus to first make Circe swear that she will do him no harm before he sleeps with her.
