The Sirens live on an island that Odysseus and his crew passed by while trying to return to Ithaca. They appeared in a story from the book Classics for Children.

History[edit]

After Poseidon blew their ship off course, Odysseus and his crew ended up in the Crazy Islands. They heard music which Lenny thought was "kinda catchy". Carl pointed out the island where the music was coming from and suggested steering heedlessly towards it. Lenny concurred: "Heedlessly it is!"

As the crew sailed toward the island, they failed to notice the jagged rock formations and shipwrecks encircling the island. Instead, they were totally engrossed in listening to the Sirens' song, which prompted Odysseus to remark, "Boy, if they kiss as good as they lure ... Wow!" Odysseus quickly changed his tune, however, when the ship got close enough for the crew to see the Sirens: "Oh, God! They're hideous!" After similar cries of disgust from the other crewmen (including Professor Frink, who said, "Someone save me from the ladies!" as his glasses broke), they hastily turned the ship around and went full speed back the way they came, leaving the island behind.

Professor Frink wasn't seen after that point in the voyage, so it's possible that the sight of the Sirens killed him, drove him insane, and/or prompted him to commit suicide.
