Mermaids – From Children Stories To Real Life

Since the time when kings and queens were the few main persons that reigned over their countries, stories about mermaids have been told by parents and sailors. It seems like these mythical creatures are drastically different depending on various versions.
To many children, mermaids are gorgeous ladies with perfect hair and colorful fish tails. They possess melodious voices and unrequited love for their partners. Perhaps the most famous person coming from the sea is Ariel. An inquisitive individual with her giant collection of thingamabobs. Nonetheless, in a child’s world, mermaids are not always nice. These ladies may still somewhat look majestic in Peter Pan’s universe, but still, they are a little more… mischievous.
Through the tales of sailors and adventurers, we learn that these enchanting ladies are not very nice-looking anymore. Christopher Columbus once recorded his encounter with these creatures in his diary. There he wrote: “not half as beautiful as they are painted.” Seamen across the world also told their own versions. A majority of them depicted mermaids as very dangerous creatures with an alluring voice that would hypnotise anyone hearing it.
