The original sirens were not ocean deities but lived in a flowery meadow on the island of Anthemusa. There father was Achelous a river God descended from Oceanus and Tethys who are Titans that predate Poseidon.
Only after the fall of the Roman Empire do the sirens become associated with mermaids and manatees.
In some myths, Poseidon is said to have fathered the sirens with a river god. Additionally, the sirens' island is sometimes identified with Cape Pelorum in Sicily, where Poseidon was said to have made love to Amphitrite.
The sirens are dangerous because their enchanting songs lure sailors to their deaths by causing them to steer their ships towards the rocky shores where the sirens dwell. Once trapped in their spell, sailors become mesmerized and lose their ability to resist the irresistible call of the sirens, leading to shipwrecks and death. Odysseus knows this, so he has his sailors block their ears with beeswax and tie him to the mast to resist the sirens' song.
Is Poseidon a static or dynamic chat
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.
Odysseus does not plug his own ears with wax when they sail past the sirens because he wants to hear their enchanting song. He instructs his crew to tie him to the mast and not untie him no matter how much he begs, ensuring that he can listen to the sirens but not act on their call. This allows him to experience the sirens' temptation without succumbing to it.
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.
