Merman legend frosted glass mug: Merfolk are folklore creatures, half human and half fish. The legend of these mythical sea beings is believed to have originated around 1000 BC when the Syrian goddess Atargatis threw herself into the ocean hoping to alleviate the pain she felt when she accidentally killed her human lover. In the water she was transformed into a mermaid, her beauty being too great to allow her to completely transform into the image of a fish.
