Why color mermaids pictures?

Mermaids are mythical beings that, since ancient times, were said to enchant sailors with their song to lead them to their death. Quite different from what Disney shows us, right?

In the mythology of Syria there is a story about a woman of great beauty who offended the goddess Venus, and in retaliation she made the woman fall in love with a shepherd. From this love a daughter was born, and that was the moment when Venus decided to break the spell.

The woman, full of rage, killed her husband, abandoned her daughter when she realized the deception, and tried to drown herself in the sea, but the gods would not allow it and instead gave her a fish tail. You surely did not know that story about mermaids. Would you like to learn a little more? You are in the right place!

At Coloring Together you can learn and color at the same time. That is right! Above each one of the mermaid images to color you will find facts that will surely surprise you and make you love these beautiful creatures even more.
