"a capricious goddess, a magical demigod, a brave youth"
THE SIRENS!
Sirens, half-women, half-birds, who, through enchanting
song, call ships and sailors to their destruction. Perched atop sea rocks, the
Sirens' seductive voices lure vessels onto the jagged reefs and send men
overboard to their deaths.
Once sea-nymphs, the Sirens were cursed by the vengeful
sorceress, Circe, whose jealousy was aroused by their youthful spirit and
beauty.
Many fall victim to the alluring song of the Sirens. The
heroic voyager, Ulysses, finds safe passage only by having himself lashed to
the ship's mast and ordering his crew to plug their ears with wax.
This exciting tale draws us into many adventures
and mythological encounters. The broad cast of characters includes a capricious
goddess, a magical demigod, a brave youth, and the carefree nymphs of sea and
glade - all magnified and illuminated within the turbulent world occupied by
heroes, gods, and monster.Book: SIRENS Author: Bernard Evslin
