 In Greek mythology, [[wikipedia:Aglaope (mythology)|Aglaope]] (Ancient Greek: Ἀγλαόπη, "with lambent voice"), also called Aglaopheme (Ἀγλαοφήμη) and Aglaophonos (Ἀγλαόφωνος), is one of the Sirens, a group of humanlike beings with alluring voices. There are a varying number of Sirens named, ranging from two to as many as eight or even ten; they are generally attested as daughters of the river-god Achelous.
-The Sirens first appear in a scene in [[wikipedia:Homer|Homer's]] ''[[wikipedia:Odyssey|Odyssey]]'', where Odysseus orders his men to leave him tied to his ship's mast so that he can hear their hypnotic song; all of his sailors plugged their ears with beeswax as well. When he heard the Sirens' beautiful song, he ordered the sailors to untie him, but they bound him tighter until they had passed out of earshot. The Sirens are often described as beautiful women with bird-like or mermaid-like features, though the Sirens of the ''Odyssey'' do not have their appearances described in the text.
