Do you think this version of a MYTH has validity? The Sirens, Living upon the Rocks, were half fish -?

Question

- half women.
They bemoaned their Condition ALONE to themselves, and to their "sisters." Although the popular MYTH has been, to blame them for their maliciousness, in luring men and their ships on to their rocky shores, causing their death, through the sound of their inimitably BEAUTIFUL voices..Yet, mine is another version : As I have agreed with Franz Kafka, the great writer. The Sirens had no ill intention. Their beautiful singing was not a deliberate Lure, instead it was NOT singing at all! It was a Lament, they uttered, a wail, a mournful sound, heard as song, which told of the sorrow they felt for their Condition of Uniqueness, Exception, and Isolation. For they were DOOMED CREATURES All! : half fish, half women; Their state, gave them NO Place in the World! Their Lament, BEAUTIFUL, as it was - magnetized the men to them and their own death, but was not done from malice. But from the lament of sorrow which was So Beautifully Heard.
Valid do you think, this version of the Myth?

Truth in myths, does not the one said mermaid lose her fish tail in the story of a true love and drift through the beam hands locked forever.garry xxxxx

Answer 2

The Sirens may have mythically been related to the Egyptian
Ba which was the part of the soul that went to the Underworld after the death of the body. The Ba was depicted as a small bird that was feminine. Originally Sirens were depicted as half woman/half bird and then later began to be depicted with fish tails. They, like mermaids and other mythical feminine sea creatures may archetypically represent the subconscious and the etheric plane--or the plane where the soul goes after death. There singing causes men to go into a stupor and waste away because the sound is meant to be heard by the dying, not the living as it, perhaps, contains certain taboo truths. The sirens in Greek myth are related to the Fates. After the sirens descended into Hades, according to myth, their job was to sing lamentations for the dead. Again, I think the archetypal idea (for both sirens and later mermaids) is that they are consoling, teaching, and orienting departed souls about their new circumstance. The fish tail merely symbolizes that they belong to the depths of consciousness, and wings symbolize that they belong to spirit. That they were originally depicted with bird faces and talons might harken to the predatory nature of death and taboo knowledge.

I like to think of sirens in the same way as the symbol Capricorn is depicted--as a wisdom figure that has the ability to both scale the heights and also plumb the depths of being.

I think so yes, ive read many things about fairys and mermaids etc, im not saying its definatly true but there is some truth in the old myths, who knows whats on this earth thats hidden away, the world learns and finds new wonders every day.
Its a nice thing to believe in and theres more things to back up myths than there is God.
