美人鱼对警笛
美人鱼s and sirens are imaginary creatures that have the upper body and faces like women with lower bodies of birds or fish. Mermaids commonly find mention in the folklore of most civilizations and cultures as beautiful aquatic creatures that are half woman and half fish. However, there are many different names given to such creatures like sirens, nixies, undines, water nymphs, mermaids, and so on that are enough to confuse people. People remain especially confused between mermaid and siren because of their similarities. This article attempts to take a closer look at mermaid and siren, two of the odd looking mythological and fantasy characters, to come up with the differences between them.
美人鱼
水在所有文化中被认为是满的of life. Across all cultures, myth and folklore mention aquatic creatures that are half woman and half fish. These gentle creatures have always been depicted as beautiful, gentle, and helping sailors and others travelling through the seas. Despite the fact that these creatures do not exist and are only found in folklore, books, and movies, they remain as charming and enduring as ever, and we find artifacts and depictions in all cultures across the world. The first of the mermaids is believed to be Atargatis who jumped into the sea, to transform herself into a mermaid for accidentally causing the death of her lover. In most stories, these creatures are shown as innocent and benevolent beings helping humans in one way or the other. In fact, in some of the stories, a mermaid is shown falling in love with a human being.
Human beings have been reporting sightings of creatures like mermaids since time immemorial. There has been no concrete proof of their existence, but they remain a part of our art and culture in the form of cartoons, books, movies, gift items and other items used for decoration.
Siren
Sirens are mythological characters or creatures found in Greek mythology. They were pointed out as nymphs who lived on islands surrounded by cliffs and enchanted approaching sailors by their voice and music. It is the appearance of the sirens that has been confusing as in some stories they are depicted as birds with human heads while in others they are depicted as half woman and half fish, to make them look like mermaids. There is also confusion because of the fact that, in some languages like French, the word for mermaids is actually siren. However, in most of the stories, sirens have been shown singing songs to attract sailors. Sailors became lured and lost their sense of direction thereby causing shipwreck, and drowned in the seas.

I am not as familiar with the mermaid folk lore, but I do know that they are more benevolent than malevolent, but they accidentally lure sailors, due to their beautiful voices. Plus they are simpler in anatomy and origin as they were born mermaids and they are only fish and human.
