Wax
Odysseus asked his shipmates to tie him to the mast of the ship and plug their ears with beeswax so they would not be seduced by the sirens' enchanting songs.
Odysseus has his shipmates tie him to the mast of the ship so he can hear the sirens' song without being able to act on it. He also has his crew members plug their ears with beeswax so they cannot hear the sirens' enchanting song.
He saved the lives of his numerous shipmates by offering them wax to fill his ears from the voices of the approached sirens. Their voices lure in the incoming ships to become shipwrecked.
