The sea goddess Scylla was quite mermaid like. She was described by Homer as having 12 dangling feet and six long necks with grisly heads bearing a triple row of sharp teeth, but the late classical writers say she was once a beautiful nymph who was transformed into a monster by the jealous witch Kirke. In ancient Greek art she is most often seen as a beautiful mermaid/nymph with a fish tail in place of legs, a trident in her hand and a pair of dog fores around her waist.
