} Siren {
In Greek mythology Sirens are half-bird, half-woman creatures, whose voices lure sea-farers to their death. Sirens were daughters of the river god Achelous and a Muse. In Homer’s Odyssey”, Odysseus has his crew fill their ears with beeswax, not to be tempted away by the sirens’ song, while he himself gets tied to the mast. Odysseus wants to experience hearing the luring song of Sirens and places his crew under instructions not to free him no matter how much he begs or screams.
