Why dies odysseus wants to listen the song of the sirens?

English
1 answer:
melamori03 [73]3 years ago

Curiosity.

Odysseus is a self-assured guy who lives by his courage as well as his wiles. He's an intellectual; and although he is self-disciplined, his curiosity sometimes gets him into a lot of trouble. Odysseus is also willing to pay a price for knowledge. It is this intellectual curiosity that drives him to hear the Sirens' song despite the pain he must endure while being tied up to the mast of his ship. If it weren't for those excruciating straps, he would have been lured to his death.

So what was so enticing about the Sirens' song? They promised gifts of wisdom and knowledge of the future. Who could resist that?

Hope this helped! :)

Write a descriptive essay about my best subject​
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Most would say, your best subject is probably one you excel at. I, on the other hand, believe that the best subject is one that interests you and you don't need an incentive of a good grade to start the initiative. Therefore, my favorite subject is history. Although many would say it's boring and you don't need it, I find it interesting how people back then lived their day to day lives. In conclusion, history, in my opinion, is my best subject.

Explanation:

Don't worry I did this in my own words ;) also I don't really like history.
