Are they different than Sirens?
http://www.illusionsgallery.com/cave-nymphs-L.jpg Joe According to this site: http://www.theoi.com/Pontios/Seirenes.html Sirens are a type of sea nymph. It doesn't say much about what a sea nymph is. It does also state the a Siren has the body of a bird but the head or head and torso of a woman. I suspect that Mermaids, head and torso of a woman body of a fish, is also a sea nymph. I have read that the mermaid comes from lonely saiors seeing Manatees and making up stories of them being a beautiful woman. Girls must have been butt ugly back then. -- Message posted via http://www.boatkb.com |

But the truth of the matter is this, that there are narrow straits in the sea created by certain mountains in which the compressed rush of water sends up a sort of melodious lilt; when those who sail by hear it, they trust their lives to the rushing water and perish, with crews and ships ...
