The myth of Jason and the golden fleece is one. In it sirens (female creatures whose beautiful singing lured handsome young men to their watery graves) try to lure the men aboard the ship to climb the cliff to get to them and die drowning in the icy waters of the sea. But they don't succeed because Orpheus sings even more beautifully so that the other men will be occupied by him rather than the sirens and stay on the ship.
