Upon a chat with a colleague about the underlying message of women snaring unsuspecting men the idea of sirens came up.
Siren’s in greek mythology were dangerous and beautiful women whom lured hapless sailors to their death on the rocks of their island using their beautiful voices and song.
Sirens are depicted many ways throughout greek mythology. Early on they are depicted as birds with a huge female head upon its body. In some readings they are siad to have the chest of a sparrow and the beneath of a female. however as the idea became more romantic so did the image of the siren, they did however always carry a musical instrument usually a harp.
This connection nearly evaded me, the traps are used to lure hapless animals into them.
These animal traps relate to my coming from the countryside and i feel that these could offer a 20th century siren. These being specific to me as they offer a relationship to my lifestyle.
