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.
Theoclymenus was a seer and descendant of the prophet Melampus in Homer's "Odyssey." He encountered Odysseus during his journey back to Ithaca and prophesied that Odysseus would reclaim his home and defeat the suitors. Theoclymenus also warned that the gods favored Odysseus, highlighting that his return would lead to significant consequences for those who wronged him. His insights emphasized the themes of fate and divine intervention in the epic.

In "The Odyssey," Telemachus tells Theoclymenus, the soothsayer, that he can go to Odysseus' palace and find refuge there. He offers Theoclymenus hospitality, recognizing his prophetic abilities and the need for guidance. Telemachus invites him to stay, promising that he will be welcomed and treated well in his father's home.
