Should reports of mermaids be
classified as folklore expressing aspects of the human condition or is the
mythical element around their existence merely our attempt to explain the
origin and existence of something very real? Many people theorize humans created
mermaids to try to understand their existence as both an animal and something
entirely different.
Mermaids have a mixed reputation. Some reported their
unearthly beauty, others feared them as a sign of bad luck.
