Resumo: The myth of mermaids, present in many cultures, remains fascinating. Aesthetically represented in Classical Antiquity with bodies of birds and serpents, they are transfigured in the Middle Ages also with body of fish. Hybrid creatures, their mutation also caused changes in their symbology. This article systematizes and analyzes the image of the mermaid as a recipient of cult, folk character and historical element in the relations between Portugal and Brazil. Interest in the topic was caused by the fact that Brazilian mythical legends and nar- ratives about enchanted women originated in Portuguese literature and medieval art. To reach this goal, we examined medieval texts such as St. Anthony’s sermons, bestiaries, and noble books. A theoretical framework from authors of history and folklore such as Leite de Vas- concellos and Gilberto Freyre was also used.

Representadas esteticamente na Antiguidade Clássica em corpos de pássaros e serpentes, transfiguram-se na Idade Média também com corpos de peixes. Criaturas híbridas, a sua mutação também provocou modificações na sua simbologia. Este artigo sistematiza e analisa a imagem da sereia como entidade receptora de culto, personagem folclórica e elemento histórico no âmbito das relações entre Portugal e Brasil. O interesse no tema deve-se ao fato de lendas e narrativas míticas brasileiras acerca das mulheres encantadas terem origem na literatura e na arte medievais portuguesas. Para tanto, as fontes foram textos medievais como os sermões de Santo Antônio, os bestiários e os livros de linhagem nobiliária. Foi utilizado um referencial teórico de autores da história e da folclorística como Leite de Vasconcellos eGilberto Freyre.Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa2021-01-21info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2020.n10.21837https://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2020.n10.21837Práticas da História.
