EEK! Myths are coming alive!!

Myths and legions talk about beasts that can fell many heroes in their lives. Such as the great Hydra that grew two heads for every one lost.  The hero named Hercules, the son of Zeus and a mortal woman.  Found that he couldn't cut them off, so he burned them and soaked his arrows in the poisonous blood of the Hydra.  Another great beast is the siren, AKA maiden of the sea. Sounds pretty, right? WRONG!!!! The siren basically kills sailors and eats them raw, luring their meal by singing their alluring song, which persuades sailors to follow them into the water and drowned. Tell me your http://www.mythicalcreaturesguide.com/page/Greek+Mythology favorite creature.

    This was a very good paragraph about myths coming to life. I would like to know more about the myths and gods. . When you said that the "siren basically kills sailors and eats them raw ,which persuades sailors to follow them into water and drowned", that sounded kind of harsh.One question, did the song sound beautiful or annoying?
