"Song of the Sirens" Odysseus


While on the voyage back home I encountered Circe and luckily I did because she told me several trials I had to go through while on my journey back to Ithaca. My trials will include my ship having to voyage dangerous straits, which will be frightening. I also have to enter through a cave filled with six headed dragons. I am nervous as Circe is telling me how the six headed dragons will eat multiple men of my crew if we do not stick to the plan she is telling us to follow. I don't even want to think about losing my shipmates because I have gone through such tremendous experiences with them for at least half my life. After I left Circe we confronted the Sirens and I could not imagine not hearing the beautiful sounds of the Sirens so I came up with a plan that I instructed my men to follow. The plan included them to ignore any instructions I made as I yelled and cursed at my shipmates while under the spell. My men must have been terrified, but I did not care because all that mattered was being able to hear the beautiful sounds of the Sirens.
