![May 9, 2009 - "A Fleeting Siren in The Wildflowers" - (I had to brush up on my Greek mythology to learn about the "flowery" island)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Greek singular: Σειρήν Seirēn; Greek plural: Σειρῆνες Seirēnes) were three dangerous bird-women, portrayed as seductresses, who lived on an island called Sirenum scopuli. In some later, rationalized traditions the literal geography of the "flowery" island of Anthemoessa, or Anthemusa,[1] is fixed: sometimes on Cape Pelorum and at others in the Sirenusian islands near Paestum or in Capreae.[2] All locations were surrounded by cliffs and rocks. Sailors who sailed near were compelled by the Sirens' enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast.
Another shot of the "siren" and additional sculptures added today are displayed at this gallery link
