The Sirens were the three daughters of Phorcys and Ceto and the sisters of the Gorgons.
Their names were Parthenope, Ligeia, and Leucosia. Also Aglaphone (Of the Brilliant Voice), Peinsnoe (The Persuasive), and Thexpeia (Of the Word Which Enchants).
They had the most beautiful voices. They sang to mariners to lure them to the rocks. The sailors would be so enchanted by their song that they would crash their ships upon the Sirens rocky shore and die.
Sometimes they were said to be half-bird, half-women. Other times half-fish, half-women. In the Odyssey they were bird women.
