According to Ovid (43 BC–17 AD), the Sirens were the companions of young Persephone.
Demeter gave them wings to search for Persephone when she was abducted by Hades.
However, the Fabulae of Hyginus (64 BC–17 AD) has Demeter cursing the Sirens for failing to intervene in the abduction of Persephone.
According to Hyginus, Sirens were fated to live only until the mortals who heard their songs were able to pass by them.
