The Silver Sea Of Mermaids

A mermaid is a mythological creature that is half human, half aquatic creature (e.g. a fish or dolphin). Various cultures throughout the world have similar figures. The word is a compound of mere, the Old English word for "sea," and maid, which has retained its original sense. Mermaids appear to have the torso of a fish and the body of a woman.

Much like sirens, mermaids would sometimes sing to sailors and enchant them, distracting them from their work and causing them to walk off the deck or run their ships aground. Other stories have them squeezing the life out of drowning men while attempting to rescue them. They are also said to take humans down to their underwater kingdoms. In Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid it is said that they forget that humans cannot breathe underwater, while others say they drown men out of spite.

The sirens of Greek mythology are sometimes portrayed in later folklore as mermaid-like; in fact, some languages use the same word for both bird and fish creatures, such as the Maltese word 'sirena'. Other related types of mythical or legendary creature are water fairies (e.g. various water nymphs) and selkies, animals that can transform themselves from seals to humans.

@Hyperchiller really? oh.. well in my faeire book(yes i have a faerie book don't judge me) it says undines are faeries, and mermaids are.. well mermaids.

[Hyperchiller]

@flyfree1311 usually faeries are air elementals. mermaids aka undines are water elementals

[flyfree1311]

@Hyperchiller undines are a type of faerie. they are the same elements, but mermaids are not faeries.

It was like dream, like vision. And I had it, when I was in Greek - Rhodos, very nice place and I had so many other nice vison there too. Maybe if visit that place, you will see too. I cannot prove that . :)
