My Name ???????? (Sirens) In The Odyssey, the sirens are three water nymphs. Their names are Ligeia, Leucosia, and Parthenope. They lured seamen to watery graves with their seductive singing. When Odysseus sailed past them, he had the ears of his men stopped up with wax so they couldn?t hear the sirens singing. But, he asked his men to tie him to the mast of the ship and keep his ears unblocked. That way, he could hear the singing of the sirens without being lured to his death. The sirens are sometimes associated with the cult of the dead and were believed to guide souls to the underworld (Daly 118). Facts: The Sirens are part human part bird. Associated with the cult of the dead. The Starbucks logo is a siren
