Smooth silver ring, the enveloping and seductive mermaid

Sirens are creatures, like muses and sibyls, who know everything that has happened and will happen on earth; their song leads the listener to absolute knowledge, a true metaphor of the finitude of man in a dimension typical of the divine sphere. The ancient world, therefore, projects in these creatures the attraction of man towards knowledge: it is no coincidence, therefore, that they were depicted in the form of beings half woman and half bird, combining the sensual element of femininity with the persuasive song of 'bird.
The sirens therefore become bearers of multiple meanings, which continually slide from "good" to "evil", with references to a new female universe in which sexual desire, the power of eros, deceptive seduction, attraction and repulsion, maternal element and pride coexist. of the modern woman able to love and subjugate man.
A real symbolic revolution that invades and distorts the art, culture and imagination that surrounds these creatures for which, even today, we nurture a mixture of fear and attraction.
