希腊神话故事：塞壬（Siren）传说

塞壬是指希腊神话中半人半鸟形的怪物，经常飞降海中礁石或船舶之上，又被称为海妖。从外形上看，海妖与人类并没有多大的差异，只是海妖极为美丽，并带有许多邪气。她们拥有天籁般的歌喉，常用歌声诱惑过路的航海者，使航船触礁沉没，船员则成为塞壬的腹中餐。

塞壬（Siren）又译作西壬，她们是河神埃克罗厄斯的女儿，是从他的血液中诞生的美丽妖精。因与缪斯比 赛音乐落败而被缪斯拔去双翅，使之无法飞翔。失去翅膀后的塞壬只好在小亚细亚（Asia Minor）和巴尔干半岛（Balkan Pen.）一带的海岸线附近游弋，有时会变幻为美人鱼，用自己的音乐天赋吸引过往的水手使他们遭遇灭顶之灾。也正是如此，那一带海域早已堆满了受害者的白 骨。墨西拿海峡附近的小岛上，就居住着唱魔歌的海妖塞壬三姐妹。

在希腊神话中关于塞壬最著名的故事，就是奥德修斯航海记。英雄奥德修斯率领船队经过墨西拿海峡的时候事先得知塞壬那令凡人无法抗拒的致命歌声。奥德 修斯遵循女神喀耳斯的忠告。为了对付塞壬姐妹，他采取了谨慎的防备措施。船只还没驶到能听到歌声的地方，奥德修斯就令人把他拴在桅杆上，并吩咐手下的水手 们用蜡把耳朵塞住。他还告诫他们通过死亡岛时不要理会他的命令和手势。

不久小岛就进入了他们的视线。奥德修斯听到了迷人的歌声。歌声如此令人神往，他绝望地挣扎着要解除束缚，并向随从叫喊着要他们驶向正在繁花茂盛的草 地上唱歌的海妖姐妹，但没人理他。海员们驾驶船只一直向前，直到最后再也听不到歌声。这时他们才给奥德修斯松绑，并取出他们耳朵中的蜡。这次塞壬海妖们算 是白唱了歌。三姐妹中的老大帕耳塞洛珀深深地爱慕着奥德修斯。当他的船只走过后，她就投海自尽了。
