Along with unrivaled beauty, myth depicts mermaids with heart-stoppingly luscious voices. Alluring voices, rendering anyone within earshot a quivering mound of meat jelly (did I really say meat jelly? hmm). They are matrons of enchantment, entreating sailors with beguiling beauty, grace and mesmerizing melodies.hey are also shown holding mirrors in art-a symbol of the moon which speaks of a reflective nature (maybe symbolic of self-admiration too). Far from vain, mermaids are elusive and rarely seen-this could be taken for modesty-but I like to think their scarcity is due to shrewd discernment.
