SIREN

n. North American salamander; warning device that makes a loud wailing sound; creature that is half-woman and half-bird and sings in order to lure sailors to their deaths (Greek Mythology); dangerously attractive woman, temptress (Slang)

In Greek mythology the Sirens (Greek  singular: ; Greek plural: ) were sea deities who lived on an island called Sirenum scopuli. In some different traditions they are placed on Cape Pelorum, others in the island of Anthemusa, and still others in the Sirenusian islands near Paestum, or in Capreae (Strab. i. p. 22 ; Eustath. ad Horn. p. 1709 ; Serv. I.e.). All locations were described to be surrounded by cliffs and rocks. Seamen who sailed near were decoyed with the Sirens' enchanting music to shipwreck on the rocky coast.
