Mermaid : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Mermaid

Mermaids are fantastic creatures living in seas and oceans, with the upper-body of a woman, and the lower-body of a fish. In many folklores, mermaids are depicted as mean beings attracting sailors with hypnotic songs, and then bring them in the depths of the ocean where they sink and die. Often described as seducing beings, mermaids actually look for love by putting curses to the unfortunate fishermen with their appealing appearance and their songs.

However in the Greek mythology, mermaids are half-woman half-bird. These creatures are widely different from the current common idea of mermaids. These mermaids appeared in literature for the first time with the Odyssey from Homer. In a passage of this book, Ulysses and his companions are confronted to irresistible songs of these flying creatures. This half-woman half-bird shape could refer to other monsters from the mythology : the harpies.
