What is siren's name in Greek mythology?

I think it is from Jason and the Argonauts.

What is siren's name in Greek mythology?
The numbers and names of the sirens are inconsistent in classical mythology.





Homer mentions two Sirens, but only names one, Himeropa ("arousing face"). Elsewhere, there was said to be three Sirens - Thelchtereia ("enchantress"), Aglaope ("glorious face"), and Peisinoe ("seductress").





In Italy, they were named Parthenope ('virgin"), Leucosia ("white goddess"), and Ligeia ("bright-voiced").





It was prophesied when any ship was able to sail past their island without succumbing to the sweet song, the Sirens would leap into the sea and drown.





The Argonauts were accompanied by the god Orpheus and sailed past in the ship Argo. Orpheus was able to drown out their singing with his music so that only one man, Butes (some accounts say his name was Eryx), heard them and leapt overboard. The goddess Aphrodite loved Butes and saved his life.





I hope this answer your question,






Reply:Perhaps you are thinking of Odysseus (Ulysses), sailing home to Greece from the Trojan Wars, rather than Jason?





Odysseus encountered the sorceress Circe, who turned men to pigs on her island (except for Ulysses, of course).





He was indeed tempted by the Sirens, but the really memorable name was Circe.

What is the meaning of the Greek name, Acricius?

So I'm noticing that none of these people are actually answering your question so far. The name definitely does not mean 'grandfather of Perseus'- that's who the guy WAS, not what his name means.





As near as I can tell, the name means 'confused guy' or 'guy with bad judgement'. Almost all of these mythical names mean something (most ancient names meant something actually) that makes sense when their name is considered in the context of their story. In this case, the name is apt because he first tried to imprison his daughter so her offspring wouldn't kill him (that didn't work), and then sent them both afloat on the ocean to die after she got pregnant (didn't work either). In the end, these events brought about his death anyway.





Hope this helps

What is the meaning of the Greek name, Acricius?
PERSEUS was one of the most celebrated of the Greek heroes. His story was as follows:--Perseus' mother Danae was locked in a bronze chamber by her father Akrisios, where she was impregnated by Zeus in the form of a golden shower. Akrisios put both mother and child in a chest and set them adrift in the sea, but they washed safely ashore on the island of Seriphos. Later when Perseus was grown, King Polydektes, command he bring back the head of Medousa. With the help of the gods, Perseus first obtained an invisible helm, magical sword, and winged sandals. He then stole the single eye of the Graiai, three ancient hags, who told him where to find the Gorgones. The hero approached the sleeping Medousa, and beheaded her with eyes turned away, to avoid her petrifying visage. On his way back to Greece, he spied the princess Andromeda chained to the rocks as a sacrifice to a sea-monster. Perseus slew the monster, and rescued the girl, bringing her back to Greece as his bride. On Seriphos, he turned King Polydektes to stone, then travelled to his grandfather's kingdom to claim the throne. The old man fled, and was later accidentally killed by Perseus at some Games with an awry discus throw. :)LAS08

Can you translate and write my name in Greek?

It`s Nicholas Joseph.


Can you write it with Greek letters too (both the En version, but more the Greek version if you want.)


And if you could help me with the pronounciation, too.

Can you translate and write my name in Greek?
Hello!


Nicholas would be "Νικόλαος" (NeekOlaos) or "Νικόλας" (NeekOlas)


Joseph, would be "Ιωσήφ" (eeosEEf),if it was your first name, but since it's your last name, I guess it shouldn't be translated, just written in Greek letters: "Τζόσεφ"..





I hope i helped a little!

Eris in Greek Mythology


The Greek goddess Eris was the personification of discord or strife. She appears in Hesiod's Theogony as the daughter of Nyx (Night).


Eris played a significant part in Greek mythology. One of the most important legends in which she is involved begins with a wedding - the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, to be precise. Apparently, someone forgot to invite the goddess of discord to the festivities. That was the first mistake in a long chain of disastrous events. For Eris simply showed up at the wedding anyway, with mayhem on her mind. When she arrived, the goddess tossed a golden apple into the crowd of famous faces. This tempting apple was tagged with the phrase "to the fairest".






Reply:For Greek people: it's E - R- I - S





For Roman people: it's D - I - S - C - O - R - D- I - A.
