Niamh is deep in Sea-tember right now with a full length Mermaids episode. We go right back to the beginning with Atorgatis, then take a swim across continents with folk tales about Suvannamaccha, Rusalki, the Renvyle Merrow (Murrough) in Ireland, and how a school of scary ladies held up construction in Zimbabwe. Did you know the bacckgound to the Starbucks "siren"?
