Mermaids, enigmatic half-fish, half-human entities, appear in many myths. As deities or spirits, they were adored or feared by many cultures. The majority of them have been female, thus the moniker mermaids. Their male equivalents occur in folklore less frequently, although there were a few. Oannes, one of them, actually precedes the earliest known mermaid \u2013 Atargatis, the Assyrian deity \u2013 by thousands of years.<\/p>\n
