A mermaid with two tails is referred to as a melusine. Melusines appear in German heraldry, and less frequently in the British version. [359] 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] Two sightings were reported in Canada near Vancouver and Victoria, one from sometime between 1870 and 1890, the other from 1967. [315] [316] A Pennsylvania fisherman reported five sightings of a mermaid in the Susquehanna River near Marietta in June 1881. [317] 21st century Reconstructed mermaid skeleton in Zoologisk Museum In The Odyssey, after Odysseus' encounter with the sirens, he headed for the place where Scylla and Charybdis dwelled. [74]

Its MHG cognate merwîp, also defined as " meerweib" in modern German [8] with perhaps " merwoman" [24] a valid English definition. [25] The word is attested, among other medieval epics, in the Nibelungenlied, [26] and rendered "merwoman", [27], "mermaid", "water sprite", or other terms; [28] the two in the story [29] are translated as ON sjó konur ("sea-women").

The anecdote is set in Donghai or "Eastern Sea" which designates " East China Sea" on a modern atlas (and this is given in Magnani's translation), but is "Eastern Sea" given by Groot translating this passage. [203] Historically, the name could apply to the Sea of Japan. [204] The initial "h" is an aspirated h here could very well be pronounced, even in modern Normandy, especially for words borrowed from the Germanic, as Gorog points out elsewhere. [135] Wartburg (Gorog tr.) glosses navette" as "sort of water-sprite ( ondine ) which attracts passers-by at night.. and plunges in with them", adding that in the patois of Valognes, it is used as a bugbear to frighten children from approaching water.

Kircher's Latin text actually resorts to writing out "piscis ανθρωπόμορφος" partly in Greek ( Greek ligature is used for the final omicron-sigma). [275] Jonston's Latin version uses "anthropomorphos"; the Dutch translator changed this to "-morphus" in the text, though the caption remained "-phos" in the engraving. [273] On the other hand, those who failed to do so risked ruin; if you got on the bad side of a fairy, doom was sure to befall you sooner or later. Whether in the form of a terrible storm, an accident, or the death of a child, the fairies would have their revenge. Even mentioning fairies was enough to incur their wrath; for that reason they were often referred to obliquely as "the gentle people" or "the good folk."

Middle High German mereminne 'mermaid' is mentioned, among other epics, in the Rabenschlacht [11] [108] ("Battle of Ravenna", 13th cent.) of the Dietrich cycle. The mermaid (or undine [17]) is named Wâchilt and is the ancestress [l] of the traitorous Wittich who carries him off at the time of peril to her "submarine home". [17] [21] [14] They have 1 new interaction, that is “I Can Fly!” (Interaction [not animation] from the Sims 3 Supernatural) where they’ll fly around increasing the fun need. In heraldry, the charge of a mermaid is commonly represented with a comb and a mirror, [358] [359] and blazoned as a "mermaid in her vanity". [360] In addition to vanity, mermaids are also a symbol of eloquence. [361]

The terms margýgur or havgýgur as aliases for mermaid were apparently current among the populace in modern-age Iceland, according to Jón Árnason [157] [149] [150] alongside the marbendill (modern Icelandic for ON marmennill) [158]

Did we miss something on diversity?

Examples from other cultures are the jengu of Cameroon. [ citation needed] Arabian folklore One Thousand and One Nights In Cambodia, she is referred as Sovanna Maccha, a favorite for Cambodian audiences. [222] Indonesia Rusalkas are the Slavic counterpart of the Greek sirens and naiads, often seducing sailors to their doom. [190] [191] The nature of rusalkas varies among folk traditions, but according to ethnologist D.K. Zelenin they all share a common element: they are the restless spirits of the unclean dead. [191] They are usually the ghosts of young women who died a violent or untimely death, either by murder or suicide, before their wedding, especially by drowning. Rusalkas are said to inhabit lakes and rivers. They appear as beautiful young women with long pale green hair and pale skin, suggesting a connection with floating weeds and days spent underwater in faint sunlight. They can be seen after dark, dancing together under the moon and calling out to young men by name, luring them to the water and drowning them. The characterization of rusalkas as both desirable and treacherous is prevalent in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, and was emphasized by 19th-century Russian authors. [192] [193] [194] [195] The best-known of the great Czech nationalist composer Antonín Dvořák's operas is Rusalka.

Facsimiles of the miniature painting are found in Fridtjof Nansen's book [158] and Dubois's paper. [174] A ningyo might be counted as a yōkai since it is included in Toriyama Sekien's Hyakki Yagyō series. [216] Gender is unclear, as it is only described as a being with "a human face, a fish body". However, Sekien's ningyo picture actually represents a "human-fish" that lives in Western China, also known as the Di people Diren [ zh], according to the inscription printed alongside. [216] They are described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and translated as the "Low People" [217] [218] or the "Di People".
