Mermaids
Mermaids have long fascinated ordinary people with their bizarre attraction. We can go back to the time of Babylon when it comes to myths about half-human and half-fish-like creatures. Mermaids are also found in Syria, Polynesia and Greek mythology. While some communities portrayed mermaids as beautiful and loving (in Irish folklore, mermaids could become human and were allowed to marry), others described them as cruel and capable of rushing in and causing mischief.
