lorelei pictures and legend - rhine valley germany -the rhine siren
| According to
German legend, there was once a beautiful young maiden, named Lorelei,
who threw herself headlong into the river in despair over a faithless
lover. Upon her death she was transformed into a siren and could from
that time on be heard singing on a rock along the Rhine River, near St.
Goar. Her hypnotic music lured sailors to their death. The legend is
based on an echoing rock with that name near Sankt Goarshausen, Germany "Lorelei" Encyclopedia Mythica. http://www.pantheon.org/articles/l/lorelei.html |
