Who Are sirens on The Odyssey?
The sirens are a danger that Odysseus and his men must pass to return home.
What is done to Odysseus so that he alone can experience the sirens?
Odysseus stuffed his crew's ears with beeswax, and ordered them to lash him to the mast with double rope. That way the crew and ship with Odysseus could safely pass the Sirens and, only he could hear their song but not join them.
How did Odysseus feel about sirens?
Odysseus was actually being held captive by Circe and Calypso. During his captivity, he longed for home. In Greek mythology, Calypso was a nymph.
How does Odysseus and his men avoid being enchanted by the songs of the Seirenes?
Odysseus had his men plug their ears with beeswax so they couldn't hear the enchanting songs of the Seirenes. Odysseus himself wanted to hear the Seirenes' songs, so he had his men tie him to the mast of the ship to prevent him from succumbing to their alluring voices.
If sirens sing and lure people into water do the mermaids drown the people in stead of the sirens?
No, the sirens sing to sailors who pass by islands with cliffs and either they jump ship and drown unable to reach the sirens atop the cliffs, or a sailor might navigate the ship into the cliffs to reach them thus killing everyone.
Who had a test that Odysseus had to pass before she admit he was her husband?

Is it legal to pass a patient transporting ambulance?
This depends on if the emergency signal lights are activated. It should be noted that even with emergency lights and sirens activated, ambulances are not allowed to exceed the speed limits. That said, if the ambulance has a patient in it, but the lights and sirens are not activated, a regular motorist can pass the vehicle but is discouraged from doing so. NO! If you pass it, other people might and the patient might be affected.
When did Odysseus put his men in danger?
Odysseus is forced to put his men in danger in many situations, but specifically does so when they have to pass by Scylla, the sea monster.
Why does Odysseus choose to go on Scylla's side of the strait?
Odysseus chooses to go on Scylla's side of the strait because he believes facing the danger of Scylla is a less risky option than facing Charybdis, the whirlpool monster. He hopes to minimize casualties by sacrificing only a few men to Scylla, rather than risking losing the entire ship to Charybdis.
