What does odysseus's mother tell him?

Were the sirens killed in greek mythology?

No, they never were killed, some say that after Odysseus left them they drowned themselves for letting a ship of men by them unmoved. This isn't likely, as the Argonauts fled them previously, and they were said to have murdered a son of Odysseus, Telemachos.


What happened to Odysseus' mother?

Odysseus' mother died from yearning for her son.


Why did Odysseus choose to go to war?

He didn't want to, but king Menelaos could persuade him. He was for only a short time home again with Penelope and his son, Telemachos, when king Menelaos came to Ithaka. Odysseus didn't want to go to war because his son was just born and acted as if he went insane. He took a plough to the beach and started sowing salt. Menelaos saw through his trick and lay Telemachos right before the plough. Odysseus saved his son and knew he had to 'surrender' now. Then king Menelaos managed to persuade Odysseus to go to war with him.
