Mermaids!!!!
Over time, mermaids haven't changed their over all look but they have changed the way they act.
The Disney movie The Little Mermaid and the greek myth The Mystery Of Melusine are very related. They are both stories about how mermaids and humans fall in love with eachother even though they are different types of people.
In The Little Mermaid, King Triton is refering to Poseidon who in greek mythology, was the King of the Sea and was the father of all living things in the ocean.

The Little Mermaid is the most common depiction of mermaids today!
Sailors use to say that if a mermaid was sighted it was bad luck and if you heard their enchanting songs, it was even worse luck. And in The Little Mermaid, that is how Eric falls off the boat, because he heard Ariel singing and was sucked into it.
Mermaids were often seen by sailors sitting on rocks looking at themselves in mirrors.

A little heavy on the Disney stuff, huh? I'll check back in closer to midnight to see how things are going with Glogster.
