Eurylochus convinces the rest of the crew that slaughtering the cattle of Helios is preferable to continuing to starve. He argues that the gods will forgive them if they sacrifice some of the cattle to them. Zeus destroys their ship and leaves the men to drown; only Odysseus survives.
he made his crew put wax earplugs in their ears. he himself wanted to hear the sirens beautiful music, so he asked his crew to tie him to the mast, the foundation of a sail. Odysseus's crew ties Odysseus very tightly to the mast, and disarmed him. When the were going past the sirens, Odysseus was screaming and yelling at his crew to let him go to the sirens. The crew obviously did not hear him because they had the wax ear plugs. That is how Odysseus saved his crew from the sirens.
