Several songs draw inspiration from the story of Odysseus in Homer's "The Odyssey." For example, "Calypso" by Suzanne Vega reflects on Odysseus's time with the nymph Calypso. Additionally, "The Sirens" by The Decemberists captures the enchanting yet perilous allure of the Sirens that Odysseus encounters. Other songs, like "Odyssey" by Home, evoke themes of adventure and longing akin to Odysseus's journey.
