	Selinunte: Shrine of Demeter, siren alabastron Selinunte: Shrine of Demeter, siren alabastron (Mus.Arch.Palermo; Photo:Athena Review 2004)
	Selinunte: Shrine of Demeter Malophoros, alabastron of a Siren, dated 650-500 BC. This perfume jar or alabastron is in the form of a Siren (a bird with the head of a woman). In this case it may represent a composite of the head of Kore/Persephone and the body of a dove, a bird sacred to that goddess. .
