Pretty sure Odysseus did listen to the Sirens, lashed to the mast while his crew stopped their ears with beeswax. Contrary to what is reported in this article.

Pretty sure Odysseus did listen to the Sirens, lashed to the mast while his crew stopped their ears with beeswax. Contrary to what is reported in this article. Getting something as basic as a detail from literature wrong when you're using it to make your point puts everything else in the article in a shadow of doubt for me. Can I believe what he's saying about kava when he hasn't got basic reading comprehension down? I'm probably being harsh, the detail probably doesn't matter. Or is it a "No yellow m&m's" in the rock band rider as a telltale for "do these guys take care about detail?"
