"There's a surprising amount, actually? It wasn't all 'the Little Mermaid.' The first mermaid story was from Assyria, where a goddess named Atargatis took the form of a mermaid after she accidentally killed the human, mortal shepherd she loved.

When he died, his sister tried to jump in the ocean to die. Became a mermaid instead. And then she'd pass judgement on sailors who encountered her. If you answered her wrong, she'd turn into a gorgon and destroy you."
