 | Sirena by Donna Jo Napoli
In this novel based on the Greek myth of the Sirens, the author reimagines these mythical figures as mermaids who are doomed to live short lives unless they are loved by a human man. Here Sirena is horrified by her power to tempt sailors into their deaths, and so goes to live on what she believes is an abandoned island. There she meets Philoctetes, a sailor who was abandoned by his shipmates and bitten by one of Hera's serpents. Defying the orders of Hera, Sirena nurses Philoctetes back to health and, as a result, the two fall in love. Philoctetes' love has made Sirena immortal but then he is forced to return to Troy to take part in the Trojan war. Will Sirena and Philoctetes be forever parted? AUTHOR: Donna Jo Napoli
