Ulysses and the Sirens by John William Waterhouse Magnet
Ulysses and the Sirens (1891) by JW Waterhouse is a vintage Victorian Pre-Raphaelite fine art mythological painting.
In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Seirenes) were Naiads, or sea nymphs, who lived on an island called Sirenum scopuli which was surrounded by rocks and cliffs. Approaching sailors were drawn to them by their enchanting singing, causing them to sail on the cliffs and drown.
Odysseus escaped the Sirens by having all his sailors plug their ears with beeswax and tie him to the mast. He was curious as to what the Sirens sounded like. When he heard their beautiful song, he ordered the sailors to untie him but they ignored him. When they had passed out of earshot, Odysseus stopped thrashing about and calmed down, and was released.

I thought this product was vibrant and colourful. I especially liked the glossy feel of this product. It was also bigger than I expected. The printing and colours really stand out, making it sharp and clear, and the overall appearance of the cats singing christmas carols was very imaginative.
