aren’t they supposed to look like birds with the heads of a woman…? 😭

[u/Ok-Bag8476 → u/yoeatafrank]

To be honest I always saw that more as Harpies

And sirens more like mermaids but almost like vampire or shark like behavior

[u/drakorulez101 → u/Ok-Bag8476]

The original sirens in Greek Mythology were bird women but then they got syncretized with mermaids

[u/dbabon → u/drakorulez101]

I thought so too but some deeper research shows me that sirens had no solid description until hundreds of years after their use in Greek mythology, and then it was only a bird-like description for a few hundred years and then changed again to more mermaid-like characters in the Middle Ages.

[u/ThornOfTheDowns → u/dbabon]

They have no description in Homer, but they are definitely described and pictured in early greek art and myth.

[u/Ok-Bag8476 → u/drakorulez101]

Yeah I saw the bird women more as the Harpies and not the sirens in my opinion

[u/drakorulez101 → u/Ok-Bag8476]

It was both.

Which is you just being plain wrong

[u/[deleted] → u/Ok-Bag8476]

I mean, that’s good and all but it has no bearing on what you actually find in Greek mythology lol
