Retelling Greek Mythology - Sirens




  • Consider the way the images above retell the Greek myth involving the Sirens and Ulysses. Then compare Tennyson's and Atwood's retelling of the characters involved in the myth.

  • Follow this link to read an essay about Atwood's "The siren Song". Do you agree with the author's interpretation?

  • Follow this link to read a response to Tennyson's "Ulysses" by Natalie Paquette. What do you think about this poet's version of the siren song... What about her image of a siren? Does it match the persona of the siren created by Atwood?
