By Putting Wax In Their Ears.
Sailed from Troy on his way home after a raid on Ismarus,
he made his crew put wax earplugs in their ears. he himself wanted to hear the sirens beautiful music, so he asked his crew to tie him to the mast, the foundation of a sail. Odysseus's crew ties Odysseus very tightly to the mast, and disarmed him. When the were going past the sirens, Odysseus was screaming and yelling at his crew to let him go to the sirens. The crew obviously did not hear him because they had the wax ear plugs. That is how Odysseus saved his crew from the sirens.
All the crew except Odysseus fill their ears with wax, and Odysseus is tied to the mast so he can't try to steer the ship or jump overboard.
Both of them threaten to kill both Odysseus and his crew. However, there is no way past except to sail past at least one of them. Charybdis is the bigger danger, as it threatens to destroy the entire ship.
Aeolus gives Odysseus a bag of winds to help him sail safely back to Ithaca. However, Odysseus' crew opens the bag, releasing the winds and causing them to be blown off course once again.
As Odysseus and his crew pass by Scylla's cave, she reaches out with her six dog-like heads and snatches his men one by one. Despite Odysseus's efforts to avoid her lair, she devours six of his crew members, pulling them from their ship and consuming them as they sail past. This brutal encounter highlights the dangers Odysseus faces during his journey home, illustrating the theme of loss and sacrifice.
Odysseus and his escaped crew go first back to the rest of the ships. After sacrificing the large ram, and feasting on the meat, they set sail and arrive at Aeoli, home of Aeolus.
Odysseus and his crew took two days to sail from the Cicones coast to the land of the Lotus-Eaters. After raiding the Cicones, they quickly set sail, and their journey was marked by the challenges they faced at sea. Upon arriving, they encountered the Lotus-Eaters, who offered them the intoxicating lotus fruit.
Before any ship would sail from Ismarus, Odysseus's men indulged in feasting and drinking after plundering the Cicones, the inhabitants of the land. They ignored Odysseus's warnings to leave quickly, choosing instead to celebrate their victory, which ultimately led to their encounter with the reinforcements from the Cicones. As a result, they faced a counterattack that caused significant losses among Odysseus's crew.
Only one person was needed to signal to the crew mates when the sirens were singing. The others were needed to sail or row the ship.
