Seductress

Baya was a seductress.

No matter what image the name Cleopatra conjures up—a seductress who swayed two Roman rulers, the actress Elizabeth Taylor or the tragic heroine in a play by William Shakespeare—Egypt's last queen continues to fascinate and intrigue more than 2,000 years after her death.

The sirens were seductresses who lured many sailors to their doom.

Even though she didn't think of herself as a seductress, her effect on men showed she was one.
