The Sirens - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Land of the Dead (Underworld)
      - mythical island in greek mythology, place where circe lived.
- - - - Q: Is Odysseus a villain?
      - A: Odysseus is supposed to be depicted as an epic hero, however I believe he isn't. He is a bystander towards preventable deaths of his crew members, and sometimes does nothing to save them. Although in the Sirens, he had protected his crew by making them plug their ears with wax, it wouldn't have had to happen if he knew how to properly protect his crew, and not lead them into dangerous situations.
  - - - Q. about Sirens: What was the point of Odysseus's research?
    - - Daughter of Helios (Sun God), Ocean Nymph. Due to being a sorceress, she's able to turn humans into wolves, lions, and swine (pigs). When Odysseus arrived, Circe turned his men into swine. It is believed that Circe and Odysseus bargained to turn his men back into humans.
        
        Q: After bargaining with Odysseus, what exactly happened during the year he spent with her?
        
        A: It's believed that Odysseus slept with Circe. She had intended to also turn him into an animal, however being immune to her spells, he does not fall victim to her, and instead taken to bed, letting a bargain spark.
        
        Q: After Odysseus became Circe's lover, why did he leave her?
        
        A: I think the reason as to why he left Circe was due to the fact that he longs to return back home to Ithaca, and his wife, Penelope. Not only that, but I also believe that this event was stopping Odysseus and his crew from continuing on with their journey.
- - - - Q: what line exactly would the scafarers be hypnotized, and forced to obey?
      - Q: What is the moral of the Sirens?
      - A: I believe that the lesson to be learned from the Sires, is to be self-imposed. It's to have self control, and to not let your desires take over.
