"Odysseus and the Sirens" is a charcoal drawing by Victor Müller, housed in the Städel Museum. The drawing depicts a scene from the Greek epic poem *The Odyssey*, where Odysseus and his crew encounter the Sirens, mythical creatures who lured sailors to their deaths with their enchanting song. The figures of the Sirens are sketched in the upper right of the drawing, while the crew, including Odysseus, appear in the lower left, their faces turned in awe towards the mythical beings. The hazy background suggests a seascape, with the waves crashing around the ship.
