Sea Monk, Bishop-Fish, & Saint Li Ban, the Original Little Mermaid

#TheLittleMermaid #Saints #FolkloreToday we take a dive into the deep sea and fish around for the interesting legends and traditions concerning the creatures swimming deep below. In the 16th century there were stories of strange sea creatures resembling clerics in Europe, in addition to Hans Christian Andersen's original Little Mermaid fairy tale.And while many are aware of the original fairy tale, I think few people know of the Irish saint who inspired it.Support us on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/thetabellionFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheTabellionFind the host Gravantus on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GravantusOr my longform writings at https://thetabellion.com/Join our small community on Discord: https://discord.gg/4xnq6Egj78Background pixel art by: https://twitter.com/illseer------------------------------------------------------------------------------00:00 Intro02:25 The Sea-Monk10:34 The Bishop-Fish20:17 The Little Mermaid51:23 Li Ban, the Mermaid Saint------------------------------------------------------------------------------Songs used during The Little Mermaid segment:1st Mvt: The Lake at Noon by Ben Nestor from the Free Music Archive, Attribution CC by 4.04th Mvt: Starry Evening by Ben Nestor from the Free Music Archive, Attribution CC by 4.06th Mvt: Waves at Dawn by Ben Nestor from the Free Music Archive, Attribution CC by 4.0
