when everyone is asleep. they prefer not to be seen, however sometimes they need to come to the surface of the water for some fresh air and people see them. if you are on a boat then a mermaid might try to spy on you in the middle of the night. many people like to hunt mermaids so they don't like to appear to often.
Mermaids are fictional. Mermaids live in peoples imaginations. Mermaids live in the fantasies of children and sailors (for the most part). They can be found in children's books and in movies (and in the mental constructs of the mind, of course).
Mermaids do not exist, but they appear in the literature of many different cultures. Columbus reported seeing mermaids in the waters off the new world. It's likely that sailors mistook sea creatures seen at a distance or fleetingly for the females they yearned for.
No, there were Sirens, which are often categorized as mermaids, but are actually creatures that are part bird, part human. I have no idea why they are considered mermaids, seeing how mermaids are often portrayed as part fish, not part bird, but that's irrelevant. (That's the Odessey you are thinking about. So close it doesn't really matter I guess. Same author) Answer: There were no mermaids or sirens in the Illiad. And the Odyssey was way too different from the Illiad to not matter distinguishing both.
