The main Greek myth of them is in the Odyssey; but they do make an appearance in many myths where there is sailing.
The myth about sirens originates from ancient Greek mythology, where they are often depicted as enchanting creatures, typically half-bird and half-woman, who lured sailors to their doom with their mesmerizing songs. These sailors, captivated by the sirens' melodies, would steer their ships toward treacherous rocks, leading to shipwrecks and death. Over time, the image of sirens evolved, with some interpretations portraying them as mermaid-like beings, but their core trait remains their dangerous allure. Their myth serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of temptation and the consequences of succumbing to irresistible desires.
It likely had its origins in the reasoning to why vessels and sailors would be lost at sea, or wrecked without crews on the shore.

The sirens in Greek mythology feared the hero Odysseus. According to the myth, they were enchanted beings who lured sailors to their doom with their beautiful songs. However, when Odysseus encountered them, he was forewarned and had himself tied to the mast of his ship, allowing him to resist their call while his crew, who had their ears blocked with beeswax, safely sailed past. This clever maneuver made Odysseus a figure of admiration and fear for the sirens.
