The circe told us that the noises would attract us to the sound and we would go ashore an perish. The circe said that we should put beeswax in our ears so that we cannot hear the sound. Then we were warned about the drifting rocks that only can be avoided by taking a more dangerous way that went past Scylla the six headed monster. We must either risk six men or we can risk all of them said Circe. Then we all were killed or injured when our ship was hit by a lightning bolt that was sent by Zeus, the lightning split the boat in half.
