"Of all mythological creatures, the mermaid is the most popular, alluring and sexually symbolic. In this original and entertaining book, Beatrice Phillpotts considers the mermaid's evolution from the fish-tailed marine deities worshipped in ancient times, through Venus and the classical sea goddesses to the traditional image of the supremely desirable 'sea enchantress' with her flowing hair, comb and mirror. She considers the psycho-sexual role of the mermaid as a destructive femme fatale and ranges over such features as bizarre mermaid/human marriages, strange travelers, tales, fables, hoaxes and exhibitions of fake 'mermaids', her appearance in literature, drama, ballet and the cinema. This most glamorous and fascinating creature has been a source of inspiration for painters and craftsmen for centuries, from anonymous Medieval artists to Old Masters, Turner, the Pre-Raphaelites, Klimt and the Symbolists, Surrealists and numerous graphic artists and book illustrators, including Dulac and Rackham. Their diverse representations of the mermaid are presented in over 100 illustrations, 32 of them in colour."--Back cover of book.

From Ariel to the current craze for Sirens, mermaids have captivated our imaginations. But what's true and what's fairy tale? For centuries, mermaids have appeared in the folklore of cultures from around the world, including the Near East, Europe, Asia, and Africa. And Disney made everyone want to dive under the sea with Ariel when the movie The Little Mermaid hit theaters in 1989. But what are mermaid stories based on? Many myths say these creatures are half human and half fish, while others claim they are simply manatees mistaken for something more magical. Some grant wishes and fall in love, yet others have lured sailors to their doom. Although we can't say for sure where the tales of these elusive figures first originated, author Sarah Laskow separates the fact from the fiction. This full-color, fully illustrated book tells you all you need to know about the myths, science, and history that surround mermaids.
