Prior to start coloring, we always find it important to have vital information about the subject to be colored and to do small-scale research thereof. In this regard, knowledge regarding the origin story of mermaids will make this coloring experience much more enjoyable and meaningful. We have been fascinated for generations with the legendary charms of mermaids and their stories of underwater adventures, but do you know what the origin of the first mermaid is based on?
Stories about mermaids go back almost to the beginning of human history. One of the many mermaid theories is based on Mesopotamian mythology named Oannes, an amphibian male fish god who lived more than five thousand years ago and taught humanity the wisdom as per Mesopotamian mythology, according to Royal Museums Greenwich, while another origin story of mermaids’ dates back to 1000 B.C. in Syria. It is claimed that around 1000 BC, the goddess Atargatis who is the chief goddess of northern Syria, dived into the lake to take the shape of a fish, but since the gods did not allow her to give up her beauty, only her lower half managed to turn into a fish and her upper half remained in human form. Another origin theory is that it is the subject of Celtic folk tales about mermaids (For more information, please see. Mermaids and merpeople by Royal Museums Greenwich).
