Les Sirènes (The Mermaids)

“First you will raise the island of the Sirens,
those creatures who spellbind any man alive, whoever comes their way.
Whoever draws too close, off guard, and catches the Sirens’ voices in the air-
no sailing home for him, no wife rising to meet him,
no happy children beaming up at their father’s face.
The high, thrilling song of the Sirens will transfix him,
lolling there in their meadow, round them heaps of corpses,
rotting away, rags of skin shriveling on their bones…”

So did Circe the enchantress warn Odysseus of the perils he would face on his way to Ithaca, as Homer relates in The Odyssey.
