Mermaids

Mythological Creatures



Mermaids

We decided to do this one today on mermaids because my daughter loves mermaids. So we are going to talk about the history of mermaids.

Mermaids are a legendary aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human, and the tail of a fish. Mermaids appear in many folklore cultures worldwide, including Near East, Europe, Africa, and Asia. 

Mermaids are mostly associated with shipwrecks and drownings.
The male equivalent of the mermaid is the merman, also a familiar figure in folklore and heraldry. Sightings of merman are less common then mermaid sightings they are generally assumed to co-exist with their female counterparts.
Mermaids are a popular subject of art and literature in recent centuries, such as in Hans Christian Andersen's well known fairy tale." The Little Mermaid".
Interest in mermaid costuming has grown alongside the popularity of fantasy cosplay as well as the availability of inexpensive monofins used in the construction of mermaid costumes.
The equivalent term in Old English was merewif. They are conventionally depicted as beautiful with long flowing hair.
