According to the Swedish mythology mermaids (sjöjungfruar) modifications of the sirens and therefore involve seafarers in general calamity, when they listen to their advice or listen to their songs. Originally had these women say being a female torso and the abdomen of a bird, which resulted in the Scandinavian mythology, a female torso and a fish tail, especially as the Sjöjungfru was a very strong creature that ruled the seas and was tied to the water.
It is no coincidence that the construction company Poseidon on the edge of their buildings as permitted in the Fridhemsgatan Kungsten an artist from the lowest to carve out part of a tree struck a mermaid that looks tempting to nearby pedestrians, but bound forever in its place is. Not far from it you will also Poseidon in wood, the sailors also might be more sympathetic than the Seejungrauen or mermaids of the far north, which does with her magic, only destruction.
the artist this wooden sculpture has left, unfortunately, like so many wooden sculptures of Gothenburg, only his initials AS, which only his friends and acquaintances say something. Judging by the nature of the sculpture of the mermaid was Poseidon few years earlier by a different artist created.
