Answer:

A siren is a beguiling explanation or offer especially : one that is charming or deluding. a woman who sings with beguiling sweetness. A female, mostly human creature in Greek legends, known for deceiving sailors to their pulverization through tempting tune.

The cautions were a social occasion of to some degree human female creatures that bedeviled sailors onto harming rocks with their singing. Odysseus and his men encountered the cautions on their long experience home from Troy.

The most ideal approach to voyage by them safely was to make oneself nearly deaf to their dazzling song, so Odysseus stuffed the men's ears with wax, while he himself, ever curious, kept his ears open yet made them fix to the post to keep from heaving himself into the water or managing his ship toward without question obliteration in his yearning to see them
