She believed she could, so she did.

Salene is a siren; she was born on the north coast of the Aegean Sea with the wings of a bird and the tail of a fish, a rare and prized combination. From infant-hood, born from a clamshell, she was lavished with praise and idolatry; and her community was grateful to Poseidon and the Muses for her loveliness and strength, and made sacrifices in their names. Salene was tone-deaf, however, and nor could she play the harp — her fingers, covered in scales, were too slippery to pluck the strings — and at the tender age of 75, she fled home for the gentler seas of the East. There she found the island of Lesvos, where she had many lovers and made the acquaintance of Sappho. Sappho was enamored of Salene and prayed to Artemis, gazing at the full moon that shined upon them, for a gift worthy of her beautiful and elusive lover; she knew of Salene’s despair, but did not know what caused it, for Salene spoke to no one — she was so ashamed of her voice. Artemis was moved by Sappho’s love for the siren and granted the poet her wish; in the night, she forged a bow from strange Olympic metals and plucked a ray of moonlight for the string, supple enough for even Salene’s scaly fingers. While Sappho slept, she bestowed a kind of magic upon her lips; and when Sappho woke to the arms of her lover Salene, she laid a kiss upon her forehead and saw that a crescent moon appeared there. The bow materialized before her, as luminous as the moon, and she roused Salene from her sleep and gave it to her. Now Salene waxes and wanes with the moon, and the symbol on her forehead changes with its patterns. When the moon is out, she hunts chauvinists and colonial thieves, and when the new moon rises, she lays with Sappho and listens to her read aloud her poetry. She never speaks herself.
