"Odysseus und die Sirenen" (Odysseus and the Sirens) is a notable work by the German artist Otto Greiner (1869–1916). Created in 1905, this piece is an etching that depicts the mythological episode from Homer's "Odyssey" where the hero Odysseus, also known by his Latin name Ulysses, is bound to the mast of his ship as he and his crew navigate past the treacherous Sirens. The Sirens were mythical creatures whose enchanting music and singing voice could lure sailors to their doom.

Greiner's interpretation of this scene is remarkable for its dynamic composition and the intense expressiveness of the figures. The artwork captures the moment of high drama as Odysseus strains against his bonds, his face a mask of agony and ecstasy, while the Sirens are depicted as alluring yet malevolent figures that embody the fatal attraction of their song. The etching is characterized by its fine detail, strong contrasts of light and shadow, and the emotional tension that is palpable in the depiction of the characters.

As a member of the Symbolist movement, Greiner's work often explored themes of mythology, sensuality, and the human psyche, with "Odysseus und die Sirenen" being a prime example of his engagement with these motifs. The piece is not only a reflection of Greiner's technical skill as an etcher but also an illustration of the Symbolist preoccupation with the darker and more mysterious aspects of human experience.

"Odysseus und die Sirenen" is considered an important work within Greiner's oeuvre and within the broader context of Symbolist art. It has been featured in various exhibitions and is held in the collections of several art museums, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and cultural significance.
