The Myth of The Sirens - Before the History comes the Myth: The Homer's legend of Ulysses and his navigation in the western sea tells about first historical contacts between mycenian Greece and the tyrrhenian coast. The immortal verse of the blind poet narrates about the attraction towards Sirens, form of birds with talons, head and woman breast, and about the torpor catching who were sailing up the Amalfi coast, after the overcoming of the Scylla and Caribdis threat.
 
Their flatteries was a danger of death when highest was the sun and quite and calm the sea. Only Ulysses with Orpheus resisted the temptations of the winged muses and they finally fallen down to the sea, turning into rocks. Folk traditions led later the peoples of the Gulf to the Punta Campanella Temple, bringing along votive gifts to celebrate the pagan superstitions. Parthenon, that was buried in the town of Naples, Leucosia and Lighea are the italic names of the poetic inspirations.
