[edit] Greek Mythology
In Greek myth, the Sirens were a group of beautiful women who lived on an island in the sea, and sang songs to lure sailors to their death. In The Odyssey, Odysseus sails past them on his journey home.
[edit] In the God of War Series
In the God of War series, Sirens appear as very young and beautiful women, possibly even teenagers, that don't look dead at all. When a close up is seen it is revealed that a Sirens face is decomposing under their long hair. Sirens are not found to often in the God of War series, however when they are they usually come in pairs and attack Kratos with a variety of magical abilities. Sirens are first encountered in God of War when Kratos is wandering the Desert of Lost Souls (see Desert Sirens). In God of War II Sirens are seen less often than in the first game, but they do appear at a few spots throughout the Island of Creation. A new type of Siren, the Siren Widow, is seen usually in defensive locations throughout God of War II instead. Kratos can damage a Siren by grabbing it and slamming its head several times into the ground. After weakening them enough, he can kill them by piercing his blades into their breasts and then swinging and slamming them over his head and into the ground.
