Artist's Description
The first known mermaid stories appeared in Assyria c. 1000 BC.
The goddess Atargatis, mother of Assyrian queen Semiramis, loved a mortal (a shepherd) and unintentionally killed him.
Ashamed, she jumped into a lake and took the form of a fish, but the waters would not conceal her divine beauty.
Thereafter, she took the form of a mermaid human above the waist, fish below.
Although the earliest representations of Atargatis showed her as a fish with a human head and arm, similar to the Babylonian god Ea.
The Greeks recognized Atargatis under the name Derketo. Sometime before 546 BC, Milesian philosopher Anaximander postulated that mankind had sprung from an aquatic animal species.
He thought that humans, who begin life with prolonged infancy, could not have survived otherwise.
A mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish.
Mermaids appear in the folklore...
