The role of the Sirens in Greek mythology is ambivalent. In one tradition they attended Persephone and searched for her when she was abducted by Hades. In the most common myths they are regarded as dangerous, luring sailors to their destruction with their irresistible song. They appear in legends about Jason and his Argonauts, and in the Odyssey.
