Modern Mythology: Mermaids

From the Middle English mere meaning “sea” and maid, meaning “girl”, the mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature in a plethora of different cultures. In legend, they would sing to sailors at sea, enchanting them, and luring them to their deaths. No longer feared they trade in their tails for a pair of feet, returning only to the shallow waters of the sea in moments of nostalgia.
