The Sea Maiden Celtic Myth

Hey Everyone,

Here is the newest in the portfolio series.

The sea maiden is a celtic myth where a fisherman promised his first born son to a mermaid who improved his catch. When the son reached 20 he ran away from home and eventually married a princess after a series of events. Then the mermaid took him away, his wife played a harp to lure her in and get her husband back, then the mermaid took the wife. After catching a series of things again, the husband threatened to kill the mermaid by stepping on an egg that held her soul, got his wife back and killed the mermaid. Slightly tragic for the mermaid.
