  of people partake in the Starbucks craze. We love
  it, we crave it, and we get massive headaches
  without it!!!

  brand logo.The Starbucks brand logo is the
  Siren.

Why do the Starbucks use the Siren as a logo?

• Well, the answer to this question lies centuries
  ago in Ancient GreeceYes! No matter how strange
  this sounds, the Starbucks logo brings to mind
  the Sirens, mythic creatures known for their
  seductive voice..Their power as seductresses is
  known worldwide.They used to sing on their
  remote island and attract sailors passing by with
  their beautiful, irresistible voices.

Odysseus and the Sirens.

• Odysseus confronts many different variations of
  the siren on his journey. One of the most
  interesting is his desire to be bound to the mast
  of his ship so he can listen to their song and be
  enraptured, yet live through the experience
  without being destroyed by it. He seems to be
  saying that having been under the spell, yet
  surviving it, would somehow make him stronger.
