Temptresses in the "Odyssey" (6)

I believe the answer is:

sirens

(Other definitions for sirens that I've seen before include "Devices that warn with a loud wailing noise" , "Loud wailing warnings sounds" , "Loud warning signals" , "They lured mariners on to rocks with loud whistles?" , "Warning devices with loud wailing noise" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
