The Odyssey · Filming location
Pietra del Bagno
In the story · The Sirens
A real filming location (April 2025): a lone rock in the sea off Lipari. Here the ship passes the Sirens, whose song lures sailors to their death: the crew stop their ears and Odysseus is tied to the mast so he can listen without steering toward them.
