Sirens are not just mysterious mythological figures but have always been the symbol of intellectual seduction: their song is as deadly as words and imagination. Half-woman and half-animal, these divine and monstrous manifestations remain enigmas in the collective imagination. Like the sea enchantresses, this book has a dual nature: part essay, part novel. Maria Corti composes a revealing tale in four acts that leads the reader from remote Homeric times to the present day, exploring a strange adventure of seduction where sirens and sailors mutually desired each other.
