Best Answer

The Sirens were young and beautiful bird-woman (similar to harpies) in Greek Mythology who lured sailors with their enchanting voices. Sailors entranced this way dove into the sea to be with the Sirens, or sailed their ships into the rocks and to their death. The Sirens are most famous for being in Homer's Odyssey where they tried to lure Odysseus on his way home from Troy.

They were given wings by Demeter to look for Persephone when she was taken as the sirens usually accompanied Persephone.

They were considered the daughters of the river god Achelous, fathered upon Terpsichore, Melpomene, Sterope, or Chthon.
