Theoclymenus was the unsung hero of the voyage who truly took on for the team. When passing the Sirens, the members of the crew put wax in their ears so that they would not be tempted to follow the song of the Sirens to their demise. Odysseus even had himself tied to the mast to make sure he would not follow the Siren's call. The wax turned out to not be as effective as initially planned and when it began to fail, Theoclymenus jumped off the ship, swan to the Sirens, and sexually gratified each Siren with a personal rim job while Odysseus and his crew continued on to Ithaca without him.
