The term hydria means a vessel of ancient Greek ceramics with an oval body, a distinct neck and a round mouth.
It had a vertical handle on the shoulder, which was used for transport and two horizontal handles on the sides, which were used for lifting.
The name "Hydria" is etymologically derived from water, that is, modern Greek water.
The Sirens were female deities associated with water, love and death. More precisely, however, they are said to be sea demons of Greek Mythology. He was depicted with a human female head and the body of a bird of prey. his crew to put a candle in their ears so that they do not hear the song of the Sirens, while he asked to tie him to the mast so that when he hears their song he is not carried away by their charm.
