During his journey back home, Odysseus face many hardships. One of the hardships were the sirens. Sirens lure men and their ships to crashing point by singing. Odysseus realized that if he doesn't do anything to stop them, then they will inevitably crash and sink their ship. In order to stop this from happening he plugs his ears with bees wax and has himself restrained to a pole.

Teiresias warns Odysseus of two monsters, Scylla and Charybdis. Scylla is a six headed monster that will only eat six men to satisfy each head. Charybdis a deadly monster shown in the story as a whirl pool with a mouth. Unlike Scylla, Charybdis will eat everything. Odysseus had to make a choice, so he chooses Scylla. He did not inform his men because he knew they wouldn't go along with the journey any longer.
