Sirens are creatures with the head of a woman and the body of a bird. Originally companions of Persephone, they failed to protect her and as punishment were turned into sirens. They originated Greece but in Homer's story they live on an island near Scylla and Charybdis where they entice sailors to their doom with musical lyres. In Greek mythology, they were beautiful mermaids who preyed upon men, making the ocean a dangerous place. Their strong belief in Greece was adapted by other European nations where they are viewed as water dwelling creatures like mermaids and manatees.

Sirens were seen as temptations to the sailors and people who hear their serenade. In Homer's The Oddyssey, Oddysseus puts wax in the ears of his men so they don't get lured, and for himself he ties himself to the sail's mass to prevent himself from sailing off course despite how badly he wanted to listen to their singing
