In Greek mythology, a Siren is a creature half bird, half woman who lured sailors to destruction by the sweetness of her song.
Sirens are not the same as mermaids, but have been mistaken as the same throughout the ages.
It is believed that in medieval times Sirens stopped being depicted as bird-like to fish-like creatures due to a confused interpretation by writers and artists. This has led over centuries to the true visual image of Siren evolving and being widely depicted as a mermaid which in Greek legend is not the case. Sirens were actually first documented in Homer's Odyssey in the 8th centry B.C. and later writers specify that Sirens possess wings, or that they have the heads of beautiful women and bodies of birds.
