== | ==Trivia== | ||
*[[ | *In Greek mythology, [[Wikipedia:Siren (mythology)|sirens]] were dangerous creatures that have the appearance of beautiful women. They could lure nearby sailors with the sound of their enchanting voice and cause them to shipwreck on rocks at sea. During the time of the ancient Greeks, sirens were mostly depicted as large birds with the heads of women and occasionally played musical instruments such as harps or lyres. However, during medieval times, the image of a siren as having some fish-like features like a mermaid became popularised. In fact, in many Romance languages such as Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, the word ''sirena'' is used to refer to both mermaids and sirens. | ||
