"Ulysses and the Sirens" is an 1891 oil painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse. The painting depicts a scene from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey," in which the hero Ulysses (Odysseus) is bound to the mast of his ship as he and his crew sail past the Sirens, mythical creatures whose enchanting song was said to lure sailors to their deaths on the rocky coast.

Waterhouse's interpretation of the scene is characterized by his meticulous attention to detail and his fascination with mythological subjects, which were common themes in his body of work. The painting shows Ulysses tied upright to the mast, his expression a mix of agony and determination, as he resists the Sirens' call. The Sirens are depicted as beautiful but malevolent figures, surrounding the ship and filling the air with their tempting music. The crewmen, who have wax in their ears to block out the song, row diligently, their faces showing a mix of fear and focus.

Measuring 92.1 cm × 151.1 cm, "Ulysses and the Sirens" is notable for its dynamic composition and the psychological intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and the turbulent sea. The painting is a prime example of Waterhouse's skill in blending classical themes with the sensibilities of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which emphasized a return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

"Ulysses and the Sirens" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Waterhouse's artistic legacy and the enduring appeal of classical mythology in the visual arts. The work is often analyzed for its themes of temptation, human struggle, and the power of the human will against seemingly insurmountable odds.
