Song of the Sirens- Odysseus

I pondered the information Circe had given me about the journey home and for once in my life I could not think of a cunning plan to outsmart the beasts that we would face. As the wind that she had given us finally began to fail I knew that we were nearing the island of the sirens. Once we left the island of Circe I had explained to my faithful crew exactly what they would do to me so that I may listen to the beautiful song of the sirens without causing us to take the same fate as many other ships before us. I ordered my men to tie me to the mast and block my ears with wax. They were to ignore my instructions while I was under the sirens spell. The song of the siren was so beautiful that I felt as if my life was complete.
