Beskrivelse

Hun har været kendt i mytologien fra det 2.-1. årtusinde f.kr. og fra Europa fra 600-tallet, hvor hun er afbilledet på græske vaser.
I Danmark optræder hun i middelalderens kalkmalerier og kendes fra 1500-tallet fra folkeviserne. Hun forekommer også i talrige sagn og eventyr, hvor hun oftest beskrives som smuk, med velformede hvide bryster og langt gyldent hår, samt at hun med sin sang drager mændene ned til sig på havets bund.

Hun har inspireret mange kunstnere, såvel digtere som billedkunstnere og komponister. Mest kendt er H. C .Andersens: ”Den lille havfrue” (1837), der blev opført som ballet på Det Kgl. Teater i 1909, hvilket gav anledning til bronzeskulpturen: ”Den Lille Havfrue”, udført af Edvard Eriksen og opstillet 1913 på Langelinie i København. Hun er 1,25m høj og sidder på en sten. Den Lille Havfrue betragtes i dag verden over som Danmarks nationalsymbol.

The story in English

A Mermaid is a female, a preternatural sea being, with a tale of a fish. She was known in mythology since the 2nd century BC and in Europe since the 600th century, where her picture can be found on Greek vases.

In Denmark, you can find Mermaids in fresco paintings from the Middle Ages and in folksongs since the 1500th century. She also appears in many legends and fairy-tales, where she is often described as very beautiful with well-formed white breasts and with long blond hair. It is also said that her singing lures men to the bottom of the sea.

She has given inspiration to many artists, including writers, sculptors and composers. The best known example was the performance of the ballet “The Little Mermaid” written by H.C. Andersen (1837) and which were performed in 1909 at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen. As a consequence of that performance, “The Little Mermaid” the bronze sculpture created by Edvard Eriksen was placed at “Langelinie” in the harbour of Copenhagen in 1913. The sculpture is 1.25 meters high and placed on a stone in the water. Today “The Little Mermaid” is the national symbol of Denmark.
