The "Odyssey" Sirens use enchantment and the promise of passion to get the men. I believe that Ms. Atwood did not want the Sirens in "Siren Song" to be the stereotypical siren of mythology. They are smarter and more deadly than the ones in the "Odyssey. She seems to be saying females don’t always have to use sex to interest a man and that makes them totally
