The sirens were monsters that led sailors to a drowning death by singing so sweetly that sailors jumped off their boats to meet them.
Sirens are often depicted as half-bird, half-woman creatures in Greek mythology. They have the head and upper body of a beautiful woman and the lower body of a bird, typically a swan or a bird of prey. They are known for their enchanting voices and singing that lures sailors to their doom.
The river god Achelous is most often called their father; with either the Muses Melpomene (of tragedy) or Terpsichore (of choral song and dancing) or Sterope (daughter of King Porthaon and his wife Euryte of Aitolia). Or of Gaea.

In Greek mythology, a siren is a creature that is part woman and part bird.

It has not been noted whether or not anybody out right killed the Sirens of Greek mythology. However, it is said that Sirens die whenever someone escapes their song which was done by Odysseus and his crew.
I do not think so. The Sirens sang and led sailors to their death. No one knows what they look like because they all died so I'm assuming that they didn't.
In Greek mythology, the Sirens were often associated with the sea and were considered allies of the goddess of the sea, Poseidon. They were also linked to other creatures of the ocean, such as the Nereids and various sea nymphs. Additionally, the Sirens sometimes collaborated with the Furies and other supernatural beings, but their primary role was to lure sailors to their doom with their enchanting songs.
