Summary/Abstract: The article examines the significance of the mythological plots related to Odysseus, Orpheus and the Sirens and their possible significance in the field of philosophy of law. The importance of music in establishing and maintaining order is explored, including ways of distinguishing noise from song. Through the comparison between the “tied” aesthete Odysseus (of Homer) and the “untied” ethicist Ahab (of Melville), an attempt is made to present the possible generative potential of literature in the world of lawyers and especially in its epicenter, which is undoubtedly the court hall.
