The Mythology of Mermaids
For centuries, sailors, seafarers and those who live by the water have been captivated by the idea of mermaids. Do these mystical creatures really exist? Nobody who has claimed to have seen has ever produced proof. With the tail of a fish and the body of a human, stories of these creatures have spread to cultures throughout the world.
The ancient Greeks, for example believed that sirens possessed the power to lure sailors to their doom. With their hauntingly beautiful songs, they would entice sailors to steer into shallow, rocky waters. Sea nymphs were believed to have lived in underwater grottos and had influence over storms and floods.
The British maintained a similar view of mermaids, as they portend doom in folklore from the British Isles. The Irish, however, viewed mermaids, or “merrow” in a more romantic light. According to Gaelic legends, a merrow-maiden drowning a sailor was an act of love.
Danish author Hans Christian Andersen is responsible for creating the fairytale “The Little Mermaid,” which is the version of mermaid lore that modern children are familiar with. Popularized by the 1989 Disney movie of the same name, this story features the tale of a young sea maiden who gives up her voice and her life at sea to find true love on land.
