**//Sirens: the seductive mistress' of the sea //**

 The moral of the story is:

"//Pride is the downfall of men//"

Backround: Odysseus and his crew have been traveling for what seems like a century. The first stop they made was at the land of the lotus eaters which they were chased off of the island after defeating the lotus eaters and throwing a party they were sneak attacked and chased off the island. After that they stopped at the land of the Cyclopes where they were taken captive and some of Odysseus’s men were eaten by the Cyclopes. They planned an attack with a giant log formed into a spear in which they stabbed the Cyclops’s eye out and ran away with some of his sheep. But unfortunately the Cyclopes was the son of Poseidon the god of the sea and he found Odysseus’s name when Odysseus shouted at the Cyclopes. He told his father and now they were cursed upon the sea. Then for help they went to the god of the wind and he gave them a chest of wind and he told them not to open it until the got home. But unfortunately his men thought that what he had in the chest was gold and that Odysseus was going to take it for him self so they opened it and the winds blew out of the chest and sent Odysseus’s ship back into the middle of the sea. Then after they asked the god of the wind for help he told them that he will not help them anymore for the fear that Zeus will punish him. So then they sailed on and landed in the land of the dead where they were attacked by cannibals and they lost men and some of their ships. Then they sailed away after escaping and they go to Circe the Sorceress’s island. They go visit Circe and they dine with her but when Odysseus’s men act inappropriate she turns them into animals. Then Odysseus demands his men get turned back. Finally a year later they were turned back and they sailed away from the island with warnings from Circe about the Sirens which are bird like women who seduce sailors and kill them and this is where our adventure starts……….

Adventure: Odyssesus and his men had left Circe.They were told what was instore for them. The men while they were on the ship had to put a big thing of wax in their ears so they could not hear a thing, then they had to tie Odysseus to the mass. When they got to the sea where the Sirens were the men had to keep a close eye on Odysseus. If they saw him getting loose from his bind then they had to take one more rope and tie him tighter to the mass.If he was to get undone and went to the Sirens then that would be the end of him. After tieing Odysseus up two times they made it through and they went on there way.
