In the Odyssey Part "The Sirens" What must odysseus and his men do as they sail past the island?

Answer 1

The Greek hero Odysseus was able to pass their island in safety because, following the advice of the sorceress Circe, he plugged the ears of his companions with wax and had himself firmly bound to the mast of the ship so that he could hear the songs without danger.

Answer 2

Odysseus ordered his men to tie him on the ship very firmly and then them to put wax in their ears so that they would not be able to hear the sirens song. he did this because he wanted to hear the song but also because there had to be someone to inform them when they passed the island and their song could not be heard anymore.

Answer 3

The men's ears were sealed with wax and Odysseus was tied to the mast so he could hear the Sirens.

Answer 4

Odysseus has himself firmly tied to the mast of the ship because he wants to hear the song of the sirens, and all his crew have to put wax in their ears so they can't be affected.

Answer 5

Odysseus decided he wanted to hear them, so they bound him really tightly to the mast, and then the crew stuffed their own ears with wax so they could neither hear Odysseus' pleas to be set free or the Sirens.

Answer 6

put wax in there ears and tie odysseus to the mass and sail threw.

Answer 7

I believe they had to stuff their ears up ("plug them" is the term, I think) so they wouldn't be able to hear the Siren's song.

Answer 8

I believe that they tie themselves to the ship so they wont jump overboard and drown. I havent read that story in over twenty years.
