goldentailedmermaids:Mermaid moodboard : Sirens/Mediterranean mermaidsThey sing and lure men to the sea, grasp them, drown them, draw their ships to the reeves, hoping to feast on careless sailors. Their voices are beautiful; so alluring one cannot help being attracted to them and loses his mind. Long ago, those mermaids were graced with birdlike legs and were worshipped as sea deity. But with their failure to take Odysseus, they threw themselves to the sea out of shame and ire and their legs turned into a fishtail. They are now bound to the currents and the waves and still wander around in the Mediterranean, continuously singing and sinking ships; faithful to their mythical nature, sang and told by many poets and writers. -- source link
