The cat was mewling piteously the other day and I said “she sounds like a siren. Hey, did the Sirens have names?” Away we went to the Internet to find a page on the mythology of the Sirens. There are conflicts as to their names and number, but here are the most common names: Aglaophonos: one of brilliant voice, Thelxepeia: one who uses words to enchant, Peisino‘: the persuasive one, and Molpe: one with song. Good thing the cat already has a name.
