    Sirin – The Mythical Bird-Woman

    Origin:
    Sirin comes from Eastern Slavic mythology, but her image was influenced by Greek myths, especially the Sirens—creatures who lured sailors to their doom with beautiful songs.

    Appearance:

    • Head and chest of a beautiful woman (often with a halo, like a saint)

    • Body of a large bird, usually an owl or falcon

    • Often depicted in old Russian icons and manuscripts, especially between the 9th and 17th centuries.

    Behavior in Myths:

    • Sirin would sing hauntingly beautiful songs that no human could resist.

    • People who heard her voice were either driven mad, followed her to their death, or, in some versions, died from the beauty of her song.

    • In later legends, Sirin was seen more positively—as a symbol of heavenly joy and divine harmony. Her song was said to be heard only by the pure-hearted or saints.


    Sirin vs. Alkonost

    She is often paired with Alkonost, another mythical bird-woman:

    • Sirin represents heavenly or spiritual ecstasy, but also danger if misunderstood.

    • Alkonost brings happiness and hope, singing songs of love and joy.

    They were sometimes seen as guardians of paradise, flying between worlds.
