Description
Atargatis, in Aramaic βAtarβatah, was a Syrian deity, "the great mistress of the North Syrian lands" Rostovtseff called her, commonly known to the Greeks by a shortened form of the name, Derceto or Derketo and as Dea Syria, "Goddess of Syria", rendered in one word Deasura. She is often now popularly described as the mermaid-goddess, from her fish-bodied appearance at Ascalon and in Diodorus Siculus, and also, as the first mermaid.a OOOOOLD draw for myths & legends... arround a year or more, i done it in very very rush, cause was dropped by other illustrator and the set was near to be on print (i hate deadlines XD)i finish it at time... but i never like the printed version so i took a time for edit this pic and do a new version.

Ah, Atargatis, known to sailors as "The Bitch Queen."
π: 0 β©: 1
haha, i didnt know that, why they call her in that way? XD

Because as a sea goddess, at least of sorts, she exercised control over the ocean. And the temperamental nature of sea weather has frequently been liked to the mercurial nature of womankind. And let's face it, in most mythologies, the goddesses are pretty bitchy.

btw, is true, goddess are pretty bitchy XD
