I was about to question exactly the same thing in the messages you sent me hahahaha yup it just doesn't add up! Odysseus and his men can be cunning in their own way, but come on they are still human! The fact that they escape in the original was already a crazy feat, and here he makes the sirens beg them for mercy?? What the hell is this joke haha
Yeah, when in reality if you follow the actually original logic of the story, if Odysseus faced Sirens head on screaming stuff like "I'm a monster" they would laugh and eat his head XD This is not even drunk Caleb level of stupid hahaha Yeah somehow I already don't have a good feeling about that part lol
Maybe I'm giving them too much credit hahaha but damn that's the only thing that makes sense in my head with that "let them drown" phrase! Otherwise yeah it's just stupid XD Yes the creatures who outsmarted and killed thousands of sailors, who didn't even need to get close to them to do it, who made the original Odysseus and his men decide they would be better off passing past them as quickly as possible than face them! And now they are suddenly helpless useless little girls lool
Sirens: We shall sing right in front of your face and make idiotic mistakes so you will know what it is! Because we are obviously fake
Odysseus: I shall test you back because you make idiotic mistakes and I am fucking Odysseus of Ithaca who just sang a dramatic song before.
Them: We caught them captain! Because they were right in front of our faces now what?
Odysseus: Oh we have free time and we are not damaged enough so sure let us continue from that dramatic "monster" concept because we also have time to save other sailors (and we are sure we caught them all apparently?). Cut their tails and let them drown in the sea! (Because I am a monster rawr rawr!)
Sirens: We sing alluringly calling you to us giving you exact details on who you are and where you come from because we know your soul. Abandon your ship and come to us
Odysseus: *gets brainfucked and drugged and begs like a madman to be released from his binds (but still intelligent as fuck since his brain is still alert and he is fully conscious throughout the process)*
Eurylochus: Oh shit he is too strong the damn ropes are not holding! *signs to Perimedes to bring more ropes and tie the motherfucker harder*
Them: Oh we have no time to stop...row for your lives to get the hell out of here!
Sirens: out of sight through the whole process probably sitting at the highest of rocks since they are fucking birds
Odysseus: *the incantation wears off* Oh shit that was a wild ride! Thank gods it's over and I received the knowledge I was looking for... Okay guys you can untie me now...

But it's amazing how touching it was that his emotions convinced her! But at the same time it's so funny he's so stressed and in a rage, and that's what makes her go:
So she spoke, and made trial of her husband. But Odysseus, in a burst of anger, spoke to his true-hearted wife, and said: “Woman, truly this is a bitter word that thou hast spoken. Who has set my bed elsewhere? Hard would it be for one, [185] though never so skilled, unless a god himself should come and easily by his will set it in another place. But of men there is no mortal that lives, be he never so young and strong, who could easily pry it from its place, for a great token is wrought in the fashioned bed, and it was I that built it and none other.
Hom.Od.23.181-189
So everyone loves the moment of recognition between Penelope and Odysseus and how Penelope basically "forces the true Odysseus" come out with her own trick. Many believe that the recognition happens because of the detailed account of how he made the bed and how it was the secret only a few knew but in my opinion this is not 100% true.
Penelope did not recognize her husband because he analyzed their secret; she recognized him because of his reaction.
Odysseus replied "in a burst of anger". He is exaspirated, afraid, worried and surprised. That is the husband she wants to see; the husband who wants nothing else but his home, his roots and his wife. Anyone could reveal to any mortal the secret of her bed; from one of the servants till one of the gods but there is one thing no one can fake;
The GENUINE emotion. Odysseus replied so immediately and so abruptly in such a genuine emotion that left Penelope no doubt yet that this was her husband. Odysseus didn't just ask her how it is possible to move the bed; he asked her in ANGER a genuine exaspiration and disbelief. No actor or god could mimic that genuine emotion. Odysseus spent about half his time in Ithaca hiding his emotions so he would survive. At that moment of the mention of moving the imovable bed his emotions just showed.
The sign she recognized was not the information he gave her it was his heart.
