She was perfect, pure maddening sex, and she knew it, and she played on it, dripped it, and allowed you to suffer for it.

FAIRY TALE MOODBOARDS:   the little mermaid.

scaled toes curl into the warm of the sand, sharp shell shards ignite fire into the underneath of her foot. the tears that line her eyes taste like salt, and taste like hope. she’s longing, and curious; those things are worth more than the pain of walking.

Mythology Meme: (3/6) Muses and/or Nymphs ➝ Merope

Merope was said to have been so ashamed of her husband’s crimes that she hid her face amongst the stars of heaven, and so the seventh star of the Pleiades faded away from human sight.

GREEK MYTHOLOGY MEME: [5/6] OLYMPIANS

APHRODITE was the Greek goddess of love, beauty, desire, pleasure, and sex. When Cronus castrated his father, Uranus, he threw the genitals into the sea and it was from the foam created that Aphrodite arose on a seashell. She is often accompanied by her son: Eros, the god of love.

M e r m a i d s  //  {21st century}

The earliest known mermaid legends come from Syria around 1000 B.C. where the Syrian goddess Atargatis dove into a lake to take the form of a fish, but the powers there would not allow her give up her great beauty, so only her bottom half became a fish and she kept her top half in human form. As myths tend to do, the story changed over time and Atargatis became mixed with Syrian goddess Ashtarte, who is generally considered the counterpart to Greek mythology’s Aphrodite. Though Aphrodite is rarely portrayed in mermaid form, this evolution of mermaid mythology is what led to Aphrodite’s role in the mythology of Pisces, which clearly has roots in Syrian mythology. Later tales in the mythology of mermaids stem from Homer’s epic “The Odyssey”, where some mythologists believe the Sirens to have been in mermaid form. This was an extremely popular version of the mermaid throughout history. Many popular tales including legends from the British Isles and the famous Arabian Nights tales identify mermaids in exactly this fashion. In these myths, mermaids would sing to men on ships or shores nearby, practically hypnotizing them with their beauty and song. Those affected would rush out to sea only to be either drowned, eaten, or otherwise sent to their doom. In the modern mythology of mermaids, however, this is rarely the case. Today these beings are more likely to be seen as innocent and sweet, if not helpful in many cases to human kind. Much of the modern interpretation of mermaids can be credited to the most famous tale in all of mermaid mythology - Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” and the subsequent Disney movie of the same name.
