Episode nine from the first season of Godzilla titled “Island of Lost Ships" features a trio of powerful Sirens who use their magic in order to give the protagonists a bad time. Morphea is the leader and the other two are Minaton and Kaidora.
The main group arrive at a mysterious island and encounter three beautiful women, all dressed in ancient Greek attires, and with superpowers. They hide a horrendous minotaur and a chimera in their small home. The Sirens are a cool enemy because they are some of the few humanoids Godzilla has to face in the series. Their eyes glow when they use their magic, they can induce a hypnotic trance with their voices and turn people into stone with their magic rays.
By the end, the three villainesses come together and turn into a bigger Siren with increased size and power. The kid wakes up Godzilla so he fights against the villains, the giant Siren grows even more and turns into a chimera, Godzilla then defeats it by throwing the beast into the waters, the heroes then quickly flee.
The Sirens were a cool concept, it worked even if the story is limited and too fantastical to make sense but it's an enjoyable episode. I couldn't find any credits for the voice actors, but I assume they were all played by Marlene Aragon, who did a lot of additional voices for the show and is one of the few female cast members.

Now this is a character that should appear again in the Godzilla franchise.
