It is a bit like reading Bulfinch's Mythology for Mermaids. It is interesting and I was surprised at how prevalent mermaid (and merman) tales are from ancient times to the present day (see Disney's Little Mermaid). Also, mermaid folklore, myth and legend is multi-cultural and can be found in the traditions of native peoples of all continents.
One that caught my eye was the Chines folktale of the Hai nü or sea women. In China these are creatures of folklore but the same word, borrowed into Korean became the name for the women divers of Jeju Island in South Korea, called the Hae Nyo (해녀).
This would have been a good resource for a paper in a Folklore & Mythology 101 course in college. An interesting read and I learned a few things along the way.
