Fishman Siren - Mysterious myth of seafarers

For thousands of years, seafarers often transmitted each other's ear to a myth about the creature of the fish-tailed creature with a great voice to fascinate handsome fishermen to death. It was a Siren fisher.

Legend has it that the Siren fish are creatures with half-human and half-human bodies and have an excellent voice. Once, the goddess Hera held a singing competition between Siren fishers and 9 Muses goddesses - musical goddesses who were children of Zeus and intellectual god Mnemosyne. Unfortunately, the Siren lost their feathers and their feathers were cleaned up by the gods of Muses to make them a booty. Without feathers, the Siren could no longer fly and the lower part gradually turned into fishtail. According to legend, their tails can glow to become more attractive in the eyes of men.

The Siren often live on islands called Anthemoessa between Sicily and Italy waters. The island is surrounded by large stones, ready to destroy the boats that intend to penetrate.

The Siren's "mission" is to sing enchanting songs to fool seafarers and make them die. Their songs have fanciful melodies and cause disoriented sailors to stab the ship to the island and destroy the ship by rocks around the island.

The bones of the sailors on the islands will be used by Siren as instruments. The mermaids will often gather into a group of 3 singers and use instruments like the Lyre and flute to play melodious melodies.

The real mermaid is described as creatures with charming beauty such as treasures and vast capacities like the sea. Their voices made the sailors in distress. Sometimes the waves bring their voices to the ships to forecast the upcoming bad weather.

The Siren fishermen are not completely fooling the dead sailors, sometimes they save shipwrecked sailors. These sailors will then stay in the island to give birth to a female child and gradually turn into 'Mermen' - the male fishman . It is because of this that women hate Siren for seducing their men. Paintings in the Middle Ages show that fishers often carry a small hand mirror - a common object of prostitutes.

Legend has it that if the sailor rejects Siren's love, they will be in danger. When Siren is injured, the crew will also encounter a series of bad luck. However, fishmen are still considered peaceful creatures in myth and nature.
