Siren (or Sirenos)

[ Mythology : Greek ]

The Sirens were beautiful sea nymphs who charmed sailors and luered them away with their enchanting songs. They were transformed into birdlike creatures with the faces (and sometimes bodies) of women by Demeter because they did not interfere when Demeter's daughter Peresphone was abducted by Hades.
