1. The sirens
By Jordan snow

2. General background
The sirens were creatures who sung a song of the sailor’s past to crash their ships. The sirens are mostly interpreted as half woman- half bird type creatures, but sometimes their interpreted as mermaids.

3. Two is better than one
The sirens were the daughters of the river god Achelous. Nobody knows the mother of the gals, but is presumed to be terpischore, melpomene, sterope, or cthon. They were once friends with Persephone. GIRL PARTY!

4. The cliché origin of the monster
When Persephone got abducted by hades, Persephone's mother Demeter got furious! Demeter swung her anger at the sirens because they didn’t try to search for Persephone and cursed them. They now had a sad melody to try to attract Persephone to come back. They were cursed ever since.

5. the sirens abilities
They could FLY ( in some iterations), had beautiful voices, knew the past of people that they sang to, and apparently were good lyre players.

6. Story time
The most famous occurrence of the sirens and the most told was in the Odysseus. Orpheus’s ship was about to pass the sirens’ island and Orpheus, listening to Circe’s advice, wanted his men to tie him to the mast of the ship and the men to put in beeswax in their ears. Orpheus loved the song the sirens sang and wanted the crew to untie him, but they tightened the knot instead. Then, they successfully avoided the island and Orpheus was untied. This would become one of, if not the most famous story of the sirens.
