I might be overthinking all this, though. It might be that mermaids and sirens and tritonesses and so on were just a way to sneak some bewbs into your classical art.

But if you think of mermaids as enchanting creatures that entice sailors to crash their ships onto the rocky shore, then the womanly half is more like the lure of an angler fish than anything else. An attractive extrusion to entice prey.

I think there is some conflation of sirens and mermaids, although I guess the original sirens from Greek mythology were more birdlike.

So, maybe that's sexy? The Other?

There's a really good, freaky mermaid in the 2019 film The Lighthouse. It's an absolute monster with sharp teeth and a scary, alien body.

There is something kind of sad about the myth of mermaids. It feels like they symbolize the utter alienness of women for sailors who spent so much of their time away from women. Like, they've been at sea so long, they just barely have any concept of what women look like or do.
