The Land of the Sirens is a mythical area in the Mediterranean Sea that comes up a lot in Greek Mythology. It is most famously used in the book The Odyssey, by Homer. Where Odysseus and his crew have to row by it. On this land, there are sirens. These Sirens are supernatural women that produce lovely songs. They are so lovely, that they lure sailors in. When the sailors are lured in too far, they hit the jagged rocks surrounding the island, and their ship wrecks. Odysseus instructs his crew to fill their ears with wax, so they will not hear the songs. He is then tied to the ship mast, so he can hear the beautiful songs, but not instruct his crew to sail there. As much as he begs and pleads, they do not sail there, and they continue to journey back to Odysseus's land of Ithaca.
