Sirens were wonderful female monsters, they sang sweet music and told lies to Greek men who came across them. Here is Odysseus tied to the mast of his ship so he doesn't hear their honeyed words.

two Greek warriors playing a board game with big shields behind them showing the face of the Gorgoneion
The Gorgoneion, the precursor to the Gorgon, was a symbol used on weapons. It was hairy with fangs and screeched.
The gender was female in the written texts, but as you can see here it looks neuter or masculine. from my new book Monstrous Women.

oohh I love the cover of my new book Monstrous Women @aeonpublishing. Out in November, assuming I get on with copyediting-the least favourite part of publishing tbh.
