rushthatspeaks, I found a sixth-century intaglio ring decorated with a siren, a sphinx, and a hippocamp. I don't know where the hippocamp came from, but otherwise—for obvious reasons—I thought of you.

(Ladies and gentlemen, for all your classical needs: the Etruscans.)

Love that hippocamp!

(And somehow this is going to tie in to a story about mournful sirens, I just feel it--your story, though; not mine!)
