mermaid, a fabled marine creature with the head and upper body of a human being and the tail of a fish. Similar divine or semidivine beings appear in ancient mythologies (e.g., the Chaldean sea god Ea, or Oannes). In European folklore, mermaids (sometimes called sirens) and mermen were natural beings who, like fairies, had magical and prophetic powers. They loved music and often sang. Though very long-lived, they were mortal and had no souls. a b c d e f g h i "mermin". Oxford English Dictionary (Onlineed.). Oxford University Press. (Subscription or participating institution membership required.); Murray, James A. H. ed. (1908) A New Eng. Dict. VI, s.v." mermin" This material has been found translated as a medieval Þiðreks saga only in a late, reworked Swedish version, [14] i.e., one of the closing chapters of Ðiðriks saga (15th century, [15] also known as the "Swedish epilogue" [109]). [110] [16] The mermaid/undine is here translated as Old Swedish haffru. [15] Musical depictions of mermaids include those by Felix Mendelssohn in his Fair Melusina overture and the three " Rhine daughters" in Richard Wagner's opera Der Ring des Nibelungen. Lorelei, the name of a Rhine mermaid immortalized in the Heinrich Heine poem of that name, has become a synonym for a siren. The Weeping Mermaid is an orchestral piece by Taiwanese composer Fan-Long Ko. [354] Motion pictures

They are glosses to sirenes at Isiah 13:21 where Hebrew ya'anah ( יִעֲנָה), mod. Eng. bibl. tr. "ostriches" was translated as sirens by the Septuagint and Vulgate. [7] The alchemist Paracelsus's treatise A Book on Nymphs, Sylphs, Pygmies, and Salamanders, and on the Other Spirits (1566) spawned the idea that the water elemental (or water sprite) could acquire an immortal soul through marriage with a human; this led to the writing of De la Motte Fouqué's novella Undine, and eventually to the famous literary mermaid tale, Hans Christian Andersen's " The Little Mermaid". [182] For ex. Mermaids won’t have the tail when they are in the shower, but they will if they are in a bathtub. When a mermaids jumps in the pool it might take a bit for the tail to appear, in case it won’t, do “swim laps” and see if that works. While the siren holding a fish was a commonplace theme, [60] the siren in bestiaries were also sometimes depicted holding the comb, [61] [63] or the mirror.

Mermaids have one more interaction, that is “Sirens melody”, where the sim will sing some notes very briefly. This has effects on other sims (from teens to elders), in fact they will have the “Such a Wonderful voice…” (+8 flirty) buff which lasts 4 hours. Not only when they observe the mermaid, they react by doing a “melted” animation, but they will also accept almost every flirt from the mermaid. In the 2nd century AD, Lucian described seeing a Phoenician statue of Derceto with the upper body of a woman and the tail of a fish. He noted the contrast with the grand statue located at her Holy City ( Hierapolis Bambyce), which appeared entirely human. [85] [86] There is a modern Greek legend that Alexander the Great's sister Thessalonike turned into a mermaid ( Greek: γοργόνα) after her death, living in the Aegean. She would ask the sailors on any ship she encountered only one question: "Is King Alexander alive?",( Greek: "Ζει ο Βασιλεύς Αλέξανδρος;") to which the correct answer was: "He lives and reigns and conquers the world" (Greek: "Ζει και βασιλεύει και τον κόσμον κυριεύει"). [94] This answer would please her, and she would accordingly calm the waters and bid the ship farewell. Any other answer would enrage her, and she would stir up a terrible storm, dooming the ship and every sailor on board. [188] This legend derives from an Alexander romance entitled the Phylláda tou Megaléxandrou ( Φυλλάδα του Μεγαλέξανδρου) dating to the Ottoman Greece period, [94] first printed in 1680.
