Explanation:This myth attempts to explain the origin of why birds sing. With the Sirens, mythology has created a physical personification of the danger of falling for a beautiful woman. Demeter sent girls to search for her daughter, Persephone, who was kidnapped.

They desperately want to get out from under the spell that Demeter put them under, so they trick and kill men.
