Stories about mermaids date back to ancient times. The mythical creature of the very first merman probably originated with the Babylonians and Sumerians about 5,000 years before Christ. They knew the god Ea or Enki, the god of fresh waters, who according to mythology is the creator and at the same time savior of man. He was depicted with a fish tail or with a fish over his head. The Syrian goddess Atargatis was also depicted as a human torso with a fish tail. She is one of the first known forms of a mermaid.
Church fathers used the split personality of mermaids - after all, half woman, half fish - as a sign of distrust. The story of sirens and mermaids was therefore used by the Church in the Middle Ages to warn people of the evils of temptation. At that time, therefore, images of mermaids could be found in many churches, monasteries and cathedrals for that reason.
