sirens

[choc1]

are sirens real

[dot.hawkes]

probably not, they are mythological i would suggest.

[jno]

the ones on police cars are real. The ones in the Hugh Grant movie are actresses and models. The ones with the head of a woman and the body of a bird are Greek myths.

[THECORBYLOON]

If they're married, then they are Greek mythis.....

[heathfield]

jno - You're mixing them up with Harpies.

[jno]

sirens were originally imagined in the same way heathfield - see wikipedia

[MacGuffin1]

Heathfield, If they were female wouldn't they be HARPETTES?

[heathfield]

jno - I stand corrected. Thank you for helping to extend my knowledge base! (Bows, scrapes, tugs forelock, geneflucts, etc!!)

[heathfield]

MacG 1 - Naww! '-ettes' is a female diminutive from Old French, and the Harpies were quite definitely Greek. (But on second thoughts,...they did have wings, so maybe they travelled around the Mediterranian, even reaching France. Hmm. You could be right after all!).
