Mermaids with dolphins
Mermaids with dolphins. These mythical creatures, half-woman and half-fish, were first described by the Syrians, who worshipped a Semitic mermaid moon-goddess called Atargatis. Over time, the mythology of mermaids changed from that of godlike beings to supernatural creatures that could lure ships onto rocks and men to their deaths using their bewitching voices. Today it is thought that alleged sightings of mermaids may actually have been of dolphins or seals

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mermaids with Dolphins" by Science Photo Library beautifully captures the enchanting world of mythical creatures and their real-life counterparts. Mermaids, known as half-woman and half-fish beings, have a rich history rooted in ancient mythology. The Syrians were the first to describe these mesmerizing creatures, worshipping Atargatis, a Semitic mermaid moon-goddess. Throughout time, the perception of mermaids has evolved from godlike figures to supernatural beings capable of luring ships onto treacherous rocks and men to their demise using their alluring voices. However, modern research suggests that alleged sightings of mermaids may actually be misinterpretations of dolphins or seals. In this image, we witness an intriguing juxtaposition between myth and reality as graceful mermaid figurines swim alongside playful dolphins in the vast ocean. It serves as a reminder that nature's wonders often blur the line between imagination and truth. The photograph not only showcases the beauty of these mythological creatures but also highlights our fascination with them throughout history. It invites us to delve into the realms of folklore while appreciating the incredible diversity found within our natural world. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Science Photo Library, we are reminded that legends can inspire awe and wonderment while reminding us of our connection to both land and sea.
