Sirenuse
The Sirenusas ((イタリア語:Le Sirenuse)), also known as the Gallos (''Li Galli'') or ''The Cocks'', are an archipelago of little islands off the Amalfi Coast of Italy between Isle of Capri and southwest of Positano. The name, Sirenuse, is a reference to the mythological sirens said to have lived there.
The archipelago consists of three main islands, Gallo Lungo which takes the form of a half-moon, La Castelluccia also known as Gallo dei Briganti, and nearly circular La Rotonda. Nearer the shore, there is a small fourth island, Isca, and finally, midway between ''Li Galli'' and ''Isca'', there is a prominent rocky outcropping that juts above the water, Vetara.
== Mythology ==
Several sirens were said to have inhabited the islands, the most famous of whom were Parthenope, Leucosia, and Ligeia. One of them played the lyre, another sang, and another played the flute. They are mentioned in the 1st century BC by Strabo, the Greek Geographer and by Straton of Sardis in 120 A.D. In ancient stories, the sirens were depicted as having bodies of a bird and human heads, but the medieval interpretations of the stories depicted them as mermaids. The terms "''Sirenai''" and "''Sirenusai''", from the Latin Sirenusae, meaning Sirens, indicate both the sirens themselves and their residence. The modern name, ''Li Galli'' or ''The Cocks'', references the bird-like form of the ancient sirens.
