History
In ancient history, commanded a Homeric ship during his ten-year voyage home from Troy, a journey detailed in the Odyssey. En route, the ship visited the Land of the Lotus Eaters, where his crew disembarked, affected by a sudden malaise of boredom and passivity. Later, he lashed himself to the mast of his ship in order to listen to the singing of the Sirens without obeying their hypnotic compulsion to wreck the vessel. 

In 2266, during an ordeal orchestrated by Beings, James T. Kirk lashed himself to the mast of a small Homeric ship to listen to the singing of Sirens. 

In 2366, Geordi LaForge recreated a Homeric ship on the holodeck of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D). After exposure to a white hole, he also lashed himself to the mast to listen to the singing of Sirens. 

Also in 2366, used illustrations of Ulysses’ Homeric ship, the Cyclops and the Trojan horse as part of his method actor technique to recharge his persona of Ulysses. He even splashed water on his face to simulate the feeling of being aboard the vessel.
