Wunderschönes Bild. Endlich mal eine ordendliche Darstellungen von Sirenen. Zwar auch nicht 100% nach antikem Vorbild aber das ist eben künstlerische Freiheit. Immerhinkein Fischschwanz. ich studiere selbst klasssiche Archäologie und die ganzen Fischwanzsiren gehen mir gehörig auf die Nerven. Tolles Bild

Vielen Dank! 
Heute werden die ganzen Wassserwesenbegriffe meist synonym verwendet wird. Aber Flügel sind Original.
Die Fischwschwanzvariante ist meines Wissens ist eine spätere Erfindung des Mittelalters.

Not Harpie? (You know, half women, half birds). A siren is supposed to be half women, half fish (or just a woman who lives underwater)
Anyway, your stuff is aaaaaaaaaamazing

harpies and sirens are both creatures of popular culture and imagination. the original tale of odysseus described sirens as what we know today as harpies.
the name just moved to mean another kind of creature.
heck ive heard that harpies as shown here already existed in the greek tales. just not the odysseus one.

some myths suggested sirens actually save seamen by singing about nearby rocks,most of the time seamen were too distracted by their beauty to avoid the danger

Beutiful work! But... Hum... Those are harpies (single, harpy). Sirens are more like half woman-half fish (mermaid).

Actually the first version of Sirens were half woman-half bird too, like in Odyssey.
The picture is great!
I love their color scheme and their claws and wings!

There are a lot different interpretations. Some are just Birds with a human head and some have just bird legs and wings on their back, right.

Thanks a lot for featuring my work! It´s really appreciated!

Very cool. Really enjoying your paintings and especially the eerie color scheme in this. Only thing is that, apart from their wings, the poses of the father two are relatively similar. Regardless, they look dramatic

Leicht vertan was?
Das sind Harpien und keine Sirenen 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Die griechichischen Sirenen sind recht nahe Verwandte der Harpyien, daher die Flügel und die Verwechslungsgefahr. Fischschwänze haben sie dann erst im Mittelalter angedichtet bekommen. 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
trotzdem seh ich keinen grund diese kreaturen als sirenen zu bezeichnen, sorry.
so sahen auf jeden fall die harpyien aus ;]
