[edit]can a source for this be added?: "Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks, and drownings." Xy20022 (talk) 04:49, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- This passage in the lead appears to summarize what is said in the sections on British, Scandinavian, and Byzantine folklore, where several sources are cited. P Aculeius (talk) 12:00, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

- Cat typing detected; as you are a cat I suppose you should be encouraged. If you click on the "Article" tab at the top of this page, you will see the text of the article, which explains what mermaids are. They are too big to eat, but they may be willing to pet you.
