Hey I just illustrated the real greek siren
For indeed, in Greek mythology, sirens are feathered creatures, despite the aquatic environment they inhabit. They are winged creatures with the heads of women, far removed from the Nordic sirens/mermaid, which possess fish tails.
Their number and names vary depending on the source, but they are most often counted as a trio, with each playing a specific role playing the lyre, playing the flute, or singing. It is through their music and enchanting songs that they lure sailors who venture too close, turning them into a snack.
