- Bradley "Brad" Wolfe
- As They Near the Island
- Tie me here now. If I ask to be released, don't do it. Wait till it all passes by.
- Odysseus and his crew had landed on Circe's island. Circe had warned Odysseus of the many dangers to come, what they can do, and how to avoid them. Odysseus returns to warn his friends and tell them what they must do in order to survive.
- The Sirens
- UNTIE ME. UNTIE ME.
- Odysseus had returned to the ships and warned his men the same things that Circe told him. The sirens, which lure sailors in with their songs. He said to prevent him from being lured, they must "tie me (Odysseus) up to a mast, tight as a splint" (Homer 695). Odysseus also warned them not to get lured for it would lead the their death.
- The End of This Adventure
- You are free now. We have passed the sirens completely unharmed. We have done your bidding my friend.
- As they near the island, Odysseus covers his ears and asks his crew to tie him up. The crew continue to work on the ship and prepare for the island. As they continue to get closer, the crew begins to row the boat while Odysseus remains tied to the mast. Odysseus made sure to tell the crew to never untie him, and to "take more turns of the rope to muffle" him (Homer 698).
- The crew pass close to the island, continuing to row, not being lured by the song. Odysseus had begged to be untied, but the crew followed his orders. The Sirens began to sing, yet the crew would not stop. They kept rowing & rowing. They would continue singing, and Odysseus would continue begging, and the crew "bent steady to the oars" (Homer 748).
- Keep him tied and keep rowing. And don't let these creatures lure you to your destruction.
- The sirens had "dropped under the sea rim" (Homer 752), and the crew had passed the island and stopped rowing to help Odysseus get out of his situation. And finally, Odysseus was free. He could walk, move around, and hear again. However, they would continue on their journey, through more perilous adventures.
