Read the excerpt from part 3 of the odyssey by homer.

so let me tell [circe’s] forecast: then we die
with our eyes open, if we are going to die,
or know what death we baffle if we can. sirens
weaving a haunting song over the sea
we are to shun, she said, and their green shore
all sweet with clover; yet she urged that i
alone should listen to their song. therefore
you are to tie me up, tight as a splint,
erect along the mast, lashed to the mast,
and if i shout and beg to be untied,
take more turns of the rope to muffle me.’
