These Sirens were human-eating beasts with head of beautiful women and bodies of birds.They can be killed only by bronze dagger dipped in their victim's blood .They
were blessed with luring sweet voices. When someone passed by their island Sirenum scopule,they came out and sang the most sweet song which no one could resist.The listener himself moved towards them in memorization and the Sirens then devoured the poor being.They sang of what the man yearned the most,of their knowledge of the world and the song was promising to reveal the future.
Now they sailed by Sirenum scopule and the Sirens gathered round their boat and sang their irresistible note.Odysseus tried hard to break the ropes ,he struggled as a fish taken out of water,he begged and cried to his men,but his words fell on deaf ears.The Sirens sang about his victory at Troy and their knowledge of the world .Soon they rowed safely out of the region of the Sirens and clever Odysseus learnt his lesson of life and grew wiser.
Again ,Odysseus through his ability to make successful plans on the onset of perils,proves that this hero deserves the place he dwells in our hearts.
