The Mythical Mermaid Mermaids are part of famous folk that fill the ocean foreground with the most fantastic creatures. Among serpents, Krakens, and other marine monsters, the Mermaid is described as a beautiful, half-fish, half-woman figure, able to sing enchanting melodies that would bewitch men and sailors to take them to deep water and drown them.

The first appearance of the mermaid in folklore dates back to ancient Mesopotamia, 2500 BC when the goddess Atargatis transformed into a mermaid, ashamed for having killed her beloved human husband and banned herself to the sea.
