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.

No, there were Sirens, which are often categorized as mermaids, but are actually creatures that are part bird, part human.

And the Odyssey was way too different from the Illiad to not matter distinguishing both.
