“... where women become pregnant by spreading their legs to the wind, but you probably don’t want to hear about that.” The hell I don’t!! TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!!!
"Medieval monks thought of women as school shooters think of women: with absolute terror." Oof, the burn is strong in this one 😂😂 The whole story makes me think of the tales of mermaids in the West; also beautiful women who lure sailors to their doom by making them shipwreck their ships.
The original Greek sirens were supposed to have beautiful voices that induced madness in men, that sometimes crash their ships and others jump for them and swim to the rocks to drown a be eaten by the sirens. However they were not in anyways beautiful, if you see them without hearing their voices, they were rather ugly bird like monsters.
There are theories that these stories started out in a single location and spread out since the mermaids are based off the ancient Greek Sirens and there are similar stories in the Middle East and India. The Sirens are from the Odyssey and no one is even sure how old it is since Homer wrote it in the 8th century BC but some people think he merely strung a bunch of existing stories/legends together using Odysseus as a main character, so it could be far older then just 2800 years. The Greeks did have a vast network of traders that spread their cutlure far and wide with a Greek kingom existing as far east as northern India and there are even depictions of Greek hoplites on ancient Han graves, the Terracotta army was likely inspired by Greek art styles, the Yin-Yang symbol first appeared on a hoplites shield, and China's military horses were descended from those originally brought to Bactria from Greece (supposedly in turn descended from the horses used by Alexanders Companion Cavalry). Japan in turn drew much cultural influence from China so its possible thats where they got this from.
In Hindu scriptures, they are called Yakshini. Just like their male counterparts Yaksha, they also possess magical powers of shapeshifting, hypnotism, teleportation and granting materialistic wishes. They are benevolent for those who have strong self-control and virtuous personality. But for perverts and people with weak souls, they are ultimate cannibals who squeeze all the flesh out of their prey.

Such island of all women is called yi-aer-do(이어도, 離於島) in Korean folk legend. It is something like Heaven or paradises where male fishermen go, afterlife if dies in the sea or reach alive if shipwrecked. The legend is based on a underwater rock 150 km south of Jeju island, Korea. Nowadays, marine research base is built on it. The women are not demon, but young female, longing for husband candidate. Because they hardly produce boy (son), but mostly girl (daughter) and so many males there gone missing while fishing in the sea. So it become mostly female island and they want male to come from main island.
I've heard a similar story to that a few times, where "mermaids" or "amazons" are looking for men to breed with because they either only or just mostly have daughters so they need to bring in human men to keep their species going. In a few of the stories I've heard the men get killed afterwards or get kept as slaves but in others the men decide to settle there and live with their wives and daughters.
it's funny to think if the fisherman just sailed 150 km north to Jeju Island, Korean folk legend also says Jeju Island is the home of the home of many halmang goddess grandmothers and the Chinese considered Jeju as the home of an immortality elixir.

Rasetsu or Rakshasa are basically mortal humans who have become cannibalistic. Sometimes they perform rituals and sadhanas for Asuras or other demigods who have granted them powers of evil, illusion, and strength. You can technically make children with them so they aren't a different species biologically.

In Greek mythology there is a story about an isle full of seductive women. I think it was a part of Odysseus journey ,written by homer in the antiquity.
I was wondering about that myself. The writing of the Odyssey goes back to about the 800's BC, Buddha lived about 400 years after that, and then Alexander of Macedonia conquered the Indian Subcontinent not too long after the death of Buddha (about 70-80 years). So it is possible that some of Buddha's early followers (second or third generation Buddhists) also heard stories from the Greek soldiers that were occupying India for a time.
Cyclopes and Laestrygonians ate people. Sirens’ song forced sailors to fell into the sea drowning themselves. Circe was a witch turning men into swine. Calypso hosted Odysseus until he felt almost prisoner. There are definitely common points between the Odyssey of the Greek antiquity and the Japanese stories of sailor daemons.
These ten Rasetsus (Raksasis, 十羅刹女), were later depicted as the uphold and protector of the Lotus Sutra. This is in accordance to the teaching in the sutra that, 'Even women and evil people can one day achieve enlightenment and buddhahood'.
"Rasetsu" is also the name of a supernatural-romance manga series...and the name of its heroine. Which I'm guessing either spelling of would make life a bit hard on her. (I see that "religious men blaming women for their lack of self-control" is not limited to Western culture...not much of a surprise there.) Also, it's nice to see a VPN sponsorship where the ad read is entirely focused on the thing that VPNs genuinely do.
Self Righteus people blaming the oposite for their lack of self-control is pretty much human nature, it is a base instinct and it's what makes a human a human and a piece of shit.
There could be a possible truth to women being extremely sensual that they seem like demons trying to seduce you lol, cause I remember that from my own culture, in islands near Japan and had a lot of connections/trade with it since BC, it's actually really encouraged to have a lot of sex from both men and women, so in return, men enable it and women do a lot of it. This unfortunately lead to a lot of ideologies that people _should_ want it, ie. forcing a couple that got together to make a child immediately, and sometimes even refusing that people didn't want it, saying they're possessed or unnatural to not want having sex. So the extreme conservativism was probably an intense reaction from that intense practice. Historical Japan was also a lot more patriarchal than what most people think, it's kinda shocking how sexist it can reach for people whose culture was mainly about discipline.
@@user-wn3wv5bx5e looking at japan today its still very sexist hell its even more sexist then the catholic Philippines actually all east asian countries are more sexist then the catholic Philippines now that i think about it weird though i guess i can chalk that up to the fact that pre colonial Philippines was alot more equal and progressive about its beliefs on identity gender and ect then say japan china or korea ironic how the poor country embodies the progressive ideals that you expect from a rich country though to be fair you might aswell consider the country part of the west i am just rambling now
@@augustuslunasol10thapostle Japan did idolise a lot of Western countries, going as far as adapting ballroom etiquette and celebrating festivals that are celebrated in other countries, such as the Sweden thing. I'm not sure about the entire East Asia, but I do know that Japan was a fan of European countries. Take that as you will as it did impact Japanese culture. And I wouldn't really want to call it progressive, in fact conservatism was the new and progressive thing back in the day. And again, it isn't as if acknowledging genders automatically means it's good, they still force people into marrying and having sex, and there were massive politics and racism between those islands. The whole reason why the battle of Mactan happened was because Magellan wanted to impress another datu by defeating Lapu-Lapu with Spanish technology.
@@user-wn3wv5bx5e true I am more talking about acceptance of others when they deviate from the norm IE say being gay of course it was still an ass backwards society compared to today but for its time it was certainly what should I call it more enlightened? even if slightly ya know better treatment of women and that stuff. Though I am more interested on the ass backwardness of it all today you expect the richer countries to be more well just accepting less sexist Ya know but no the Catholic poor country is the progressive one East Asia just built different which I find very interesting as it very much goes against the logic that the more advanced we become the more accepting we become

@@Baladwitya These myths all comes from the fact that the cultures inherently demonize and objectify women. Hinduism does neither, so there are no such myths.

I love that the writer was so devoid of maidens that he thought writing a story about, "They'll want so much sex you'll die from it!" was supposed to stop men from wanting to go near a woman.
I can easily imagine some kind of seinen-guro-hentai manga based on this story, but taking place in modern times, something along the lines of "Strange Tales of Rasetsu Island ". Or something.
I'm loving how the artstyle improved in comparison to older videos! Especially in this video, the expressions on the characters are so great!! Awesome work!💖💖💖
This is the best commentary I’ve ever seen about American’s lack of geography knowledge (7:02). Even though I’ve never met an american in my life, as a Bolivian myself who lives in Brazil (aka other country, same continent) and even they don’t know anything about the country, it’s common knowledge to assume other countries don’t know what even “Bolivia” is.
"But this map also has the Ryukyu Islands and says its inhabitants have the bodies of humans and the heads of birds." I'm Okinawan myself and today I learned I am, in fact, a Birdperson. I thought you were just gonna say "hairy barbarians" like usual or something.
In a lot of epic adventure stories, everything from The Odyssey to Journey to The West and even to stories like The Wicker Man, it seems like there's either an Island, Town or Tribe of women who either completely populate an area or ultimately just have dominion over a people or territory. They're usually portrayed as wanton, constantly horny and coveting men for sex/breeding stock/marriage and often having an ulterior motive that usually involves cannibalism in the end. I wonder how much of this involves historic tribes (we know that in prehistoric Europe and Asia cannibalism was often practiced in the same regions that produced notable stone Venus Figurines,) or if it's more to do with the psychology of Patriarchal/Pastoral civilizations that inhabited everywhere from the Steppes of Central Asia to the Caucasus to the Near East. These civilizations obviously came into contact with India, even colonizing parts of the sub-continent, and I wonder if they also left a mark on East Asian civilizations through conquest/oral traditions/religious conversion. I guess the more we find out the more questions we have. Or maybe an island full of women who want nothing more than to fetishize, fuck and dote on a man is a really hot idea, even if they might want to eat him in the end too.
Ah yes, the various stories of men seeing a beautiful woman and assuming her mere presence is consent. Then telling a story about a horrible monster seductress to cover the fact that they got their ass handed to them by a girl
In Brazil is the legend of Iara a fresh water mermaid who would seduce men with her beautiful voice and later drown them on the river. My theory is that they would hear a indigenous woman bath in the river and not understand a single word of her language would take her as seductive, but later be killed by her tribe and shoved into the river.
_"Ah yes, the various stories of men seeing a beautiful woman and assuming her mere presence is consent."_ If you boil down everything wrong with the world today, and then you boil down everything wrong with the mind frame of that sentence, you'll get the exact same shh!tty goo. Jussayin.
When I hear a story like this and think back to various stories of cannibalism by imperial troops during WWII and then that Japanese guy who killed and ate a gal back in Belgium a few decades ago, it makes me think that the Japanese have a very different take on cannibalism than Western society. The guy wasn't even locked up when he made it back to Japan.
Very interesting, seems as if the Indians, Japanese, as well as the ancient Greeks knew a kind of siren. Even the mention of bird-like beings matches the oldest descriptions from Greek mythology. Only in the later retellings were the sirens described by the Greeks as beings similar to fish or mermaids. Perhaps there is more to the myths than is realized. For my part, I always thought it extremely questionable that the Iliad only took place in the Mediterranean, because even an amateur seafarer could not get lost there for decades.
Always appreciate these tales. Thank you! This is the kind of knowledge Westerners are sorely missing. On that note, have you made anything talking about what's up with centipedes/centipede demons in popular Japanese media?
Ah yes, the entire genre of mythology that consists of, "women defending themselves against men who thought their mere existence was an invitation, then getting blamed for it."
Could be worse, there's also "men write female monster who's whole motivation and character is eating children and babies because evil". Even at the time, that was still an overused and mysogynistic trope, and there's a good reason why most of those monsters nowadays are universally unpopular.
Imagine how awkward it must be that the guys who were imprisoned because Sōkara's ship crashed. He just looks at the soon-to-be-food thinking "crap... apologies?"
“It was originally believed to be the origin of Sri Lanka” Well based on other origin stories I’ve heard Indians tell of Sri Lanka, I think this is an improvement!

1:32 Is cannibalism though? Since they are demons is a completely diferent species or kind of being and Cannibalism means eating someone of your own species.
Actually rasetsu do exisisted in srilanka and called as yaksha. In the ancient times the first king of srilanka king vijaya who was expulsed from india by his father came to thambapanni(A srilkankan beach in that time it was called by a diffrent name and king vijaya gave the name "thambapanni" because the sand on the beach was bronze color ) with his crew and they went to find food when the prince was resting and after hours the crew was nowhere to found so the prince looked for them and so a woman weaving cloths and he suspected her to seduced his men and attacked her. She begged for mercy and said that she will release the men.She was a cannibal yakshani(rasetsu) that named as kuweni.But she had a crush on the prince and she said if he marry her she will help him to be the king of the country. As she promised she helped the prince to become the king by killing her uncles who was the rulers of the country. But the ministers didn't liked his decision to marry kuweni. After several years she gave birth to two babies and ministers got so mad because the next ruler of the country is gonna be a mixed blooded person so they did some dark magic that showed nightmares to the prince, he saw that he is been eaten by kuweni after several days he investigated the place that he first met kuweni and and saw a cave full of human skulls and bones he was chilled at that moment and ordered kuweni and he kicked kuweni and her kids out of the castle.But she didn't had a intention to cannibalise the king. She went to the forest in agony and she was caught by the yaksha group (most of them was relatives of kuweni)she helped her son and daughter to flee away. She was killed by the cannibal group because she has go against the cannibal law and disrespected there race.Believe or not this is a real historical event that happened in srilanka.

There are theories that these stories started out in a single location and spread out since the mermaids are based off the ancient Greek Sirens and there are similar stories in the Middle East and India. The Greeks could have gotten the story of the Sirens from somewhere else or invented it themselves. The Sirens are from the Odyssey and no one is even sure how old it is since Homer wrote it in the 8th century BC but some people think he merely strung a bunch of existing stories/legends together using Odysseus as a main character, so it could be far older then just 2800 years. The Greeks did have a vast network of traders that spread their culture far and wide with a Greek kingom existing as far east as northern India and there are even depictions of Greek hoplites on ancient Han graves, the Terracotta army was likely inspired by Greek art styles, the Yin-Yang symbol first appeared on a hoplites shield, and China's military horses were descended from those originally brought to Bactria from Greece (supposedly in turn descended from the horses used by Alexanders Companion Cavalry). Japan in turn drew much cultural influence from China so its possible thats where they got this from.

The writing of the Odyssey goes back to about the 800's BC, Buddha lived about 400 years after that, and then Alexander of Macedonia conquered the Indian Subcontinent not too long after the death of Buddha (about 70-80 years). So it is possible that some of Buddha's early followers (second or third generation Buddhists) also heard stories from the Greek soldiers that were occupying India for a time.
Cyclopes and Laestrygonians ate people. Sirens’ song forced sailors to fell into the sea drowning themselves. Circe was a witch turning men into swine. Calypso hosted Odysseus until he felt almost prisoner. There are definitely common points between the Odyssey of the Greek antiquity and the Japanese stories of sailor daemons.
That is right. Many parallels with the Odyssey.

Linfamy: “It’s hard to imagine an island so sexually perverted and degenerate “
Also Linfamy : “ but the Japanese do exist “ 🤣🤣🤣💀
Someone needs 2 book a trip to Manhattan island, NYC....... ;-)
@@StefanTonioSampson nah man i rather stay on my island nation.
Having lived here in Japan for a while....Yeah, it is pretty perverted and degenerate(you`ll have to trust me on this). That`s what makes it so fun!
You literally just copied the joke and added emojis and somehow it's the top comment
its funny cuz its true.
These ten Rasetsus (Raksasis, 十羅刹女), were later depicted as the uphold and protector of the Lotus Sutra. This is in accordance to the teaching in the sutra that, 'Even women and evil people can one day achieve enlightenment and buddhahood'.
"Rasetsu" is also the name of a supernatural-romance manga series...and the name of its heroine. Which I'm guessing either spelling of would make life a bit hard on her. (I see that "religious men blaming women for their lack of self-control" is not limited to Western culture...not much of a surprise there.) Also, it's nice to see a VPN sponsorship where the ad read is entirely focused on the thing that VPNs genuinely do.
Self Righteus people blaming the oposite for their lack of self-control is pretty much human nature, it is a base instinct and it's what makes a human a human and a piece of shit.
There could be a possible truth to women being extremely sensual that they seem like demons trying to seduce you lol, cause I remember that from my own culture, in islands near Japan and had a lot of connections/trade with it since BC, it's actually really encouraged to have a lot of sex from both men and women, so in return, men enable it and women do a lot of it. This unfortunately lead to a lot of ideologies that people _should_ want it, ie. forcing a couple that got together to make a child immediately, and sometimes even refusing that people didn't want it, saying they're possessed or unnatural to not want having sex.
So the extreme conservativism was probably an intense reaction from that intense practice. Historical Japan was also a lot more patriarchal than what most people think, it's kinda shocking how sexist it can reach for people whose culture was mainly about discipline.
@@user-wn3wv5bx5e looking at japan today its still very sexist hell its even more sexist then the catholic Philippines actually all east asian countries are more sexist then the catholic Philippines now that i think about it weird though i guess i can chalk that up to the fact that pre colonial Philippines was alot more equal and progressive about its beliefs on identity gender and ect then say japan china or korea ironic how the poor country embodies the progressive ideals that you expect from a rich country though to be fair you might aswell consider the country part of the west i am just rambling now
@@augustuslunasol10thapostle Japan did idolise a lot of Western countries, going as far as adapting ballroom etiquette and celebrating festivals that are celebrated in other countries, such as the Sweden thing. I'm not sure about the entire East Asia, but I do know that Japan was a fan of European countries. Take that as you will as it did impact Japanese culture.
And I wouldn't really want to call it progressive, in fact conservatism was the new and progressive thing back in the day. And again, it isn't as if acknowledging genders automatically means it's good, they still force people into marrying and having sex, and there were massive politics and racism between those islands. The whole reason why the battle of Mactan happened was because Magellan wanted to impress another datu by defeating Lapu-Lapu with Spanish technology.
@@user-wn3wv5bx5e true I am more talking about acceptance of others when they deviate from the norm IE say being gay of course it was still an ass backwards society compared to today but for its time it was certainly what should I call it more enlightened? even if slightly ya know better treatment of women and that stuff. Though I am more interested on the ass backwardness of it all today you expect the richer countries to be more well just accepting less sexist Ya know but no the Catholic poor country is the progressive one East Asia just built different which I find very interesting as it very much goes against the logic that the more advanced we become the more accepting we become
The second I saw the title, all I could think of was that meme "Oh my god! That's disgusting. Where?" 😂. Thanks for another informative and hilarious video!
So,this is like a Hindu and Buddhist version of the succubus or succubi,where the succubus had seduce men while sleeping and it's like cousin of the rasetsu.
In Hinduism , we don't have such kind of stories. Women are respected and not considered objects of seduction .
@Max Brandt yeah u can say
@@bapparawal2457 What does it had to with respecting woman??
@@Baladwitya These myths all comes from the fact that the cultures inherently demonize and objectify women. Hinduism does neither, so there are no such myths.
more like succubus japanese version.

I’m addicted to this channel like a degenerate Hahahhaa
Woohoo!
0:21 interesting analogy there linfamy
I love that the writer was so devoid of maidens that he thought writing a story about, "They'll want so much sex you'll die from it!" was supposed to stop men from wanting to go near a woman.
The introduction to the sponsor of the video was so seamless, I had to replay over and over again. Excellent! Hahahahah
I love your videos so much! I’m always happy when you update! 😄
very entertaining and witty, keep up the good work :)
very good comment, keep up the good work!
@@Stevie-J oh yea your right, it was mediocre, (just kidding still good)
I can easily imagine some kind of seinen-guro-hentai manga based on this story, but taking place in modern times, something along the lines of "Strange Tales of Rasetsu Island ". Or something.
Sounds like the synopsis of an awesome horror H anime.

This is the best commentary I’ve ever seen about American’s lack of geography knowledge (7:02). Even though I’ve never met an american in my life, as a Bolivian myself who lives in Brazil (aka other country, same continent) and even they don’t know anything about the country, it’s common knowledge to assume other countries don’t know what even “Bolivia” is.

Linfamy only gets funnier and funnier with every video!
Wait what happens when another woman gets on the island
In a lot of epic adventure stories, everything from The Odyssey to Journey to The West and even to stories like The Wicker Man, it seems like there's either an Island, Town or Tribe of women who either completely populate an area or ultimately just have dominion over a people or territory.
They're usually portrayed as wanton, constantly horny and coveting men for sex/breeding stock/marriage and often having an ulterior motive that usually involves cannibalism in the end.
I wonder how much of this involves historic tribes (we know that in prehistoric Europe and Asia cannibalism was often practiced in the same regions that produced notable stone Venus Figurines,) or if it's more to do with the psychology of Patriarchal/Pastoral civilizations that inhabited everywhere from the Steppes of Central Asia to the Caucasus to the Near East.
These civilizations obviously came into contact with India, even colonizing parts of the sub-continent, and I wonder if they also left a mark on East Asian civilizations through conquest/oral traditions/religious conversion.
I guess the more we find out the more questions we have.
Or maybe an island full of women who want nothing more than to fetishize, fuck and dote on a man is a really hot idea, even if they might want to eat him in the end too.
Love your humor in all your videos but this one really made me laugh while I actually learned something.😂
Ah yes, the various stories of men seeing a beautiful woman and assuming her mere presence is consent. Then telling a story about a horrible monster seductress to cover the fact that they got their ass handed to them by a girl
You can totally write your own mythological legend. It might catch on.
In Brazil is the legend of Iara a fresh water mermaid who would seduce men with her beautiful voice and later drown them on the river.
My theory is that they would hear a indigenous woman bath in the river and not understand a single word of her language would take her as seductive, but later be killed by her tribe and shoved into the river.
@@FWU100 wouldnt put it past them, soundslike something id want to watch!
_"Ah yes, the various stories of men seeing a beautiful woman and assuming her mere presence is consent."_
If you boil down everything wrong with the world today, and then you boil down everything wrong with the mind frame of that sentence, you'll get the exact same shh!tty goo.
Jussayin.
"Death by snu snu" Eh I can think of worse ways to die.
When I hear a story like this and think back to various stories of cannibalism by imperial troops during WWII and then that Japanese guy who killed and ate a gal back in Belgium a few decades ago, it makes me think that the Japanese have a very different take on cannibalism than Western society. The guy wasn't even locked up when he made it back to Japan.
I know the case is damn unfair, another reason not to go to Japan
Oh yeahhh that story was on Mr Allen's channel
Bro, ate a gal, fr. 😂
1:02 not a bad way to go.
Gotta love some linfamy content :)
Very interesting, seems as if the Indians, Japanese, as well as the ancient Greeks knew a kind of siren. Even the mention of bird-like beings matches the oldest descriptions from Greek mythology. Only in the later retellings were the sirens described by the Greeks as beings similar to fish or mermaids. Perhaps there is more to the myths than is realized.
For my part, I always thought it extremely questionable that the Iliad only took place in the Mediterranean, because even an amateur seafarer could not get lost there for decades.
That, was some Oversimplified level of smooth transition to ad, bravo good sir
Always appreciate these tales. Thank you! This is the kind of knowledge Westerners are sorely missing. On that note, have you made anything talking about what's up with centipedes/centipede demons in popular Japanese media?
Ah yes, the entire genre of mythology that consists of, "women defending themselves against men who thought their mere existence was an invitation, then getting blamed for it."
Could be worse, there's also "men write female monster who's whole motivation and character is eating children and babies because evil". Even at the time, that was still an overused and mysogynistic trope, and there's a good reason why most of those monsters nowadays are universally unpopular.
Imagine how awkward it must be that the guys who were imprisoned because Sōkara's ship crashed. He just looks at the soon-to-be-food thinking "crap... apologies?"

1:32 Is cannibalism though? Since they are demons is a completely diferent species or kind of being and Cannibalism means eating someone of your own species.
Actually rasetsu do exisisted in srilanka and called as yaksha. In the ancient times the first king of srilanka king vijaya who was expulsed from india by his father came to thambapanni(A srilkankan beach in that time it was called by a diffrent name and king vijaya gave the name "thambapanni" because the sand on the beach was bronze color ) with his crew and they went to find food when the prince was resting and after hours the crew was nowhere to found so the prince looked for them and so a woman weaving cloths and he suspected her to seduced his men and attacked her. She begged for mercy and said that she will release the men.She was a cannibal yakshani(rasetsu) that named as kuweni.But she had a crush on the prince and she said if he marry her she will help him to be the king of the country. As she promised she helped the prince to become the king by killing her uncles who was the rulers of the country. But the ministers didn't liked his decision to marry kuweni. After several years she gave birth to two babies and ministers got so mad because the next ruler of the country is gonna be a mixed blooded person so they did some dark magic that showed nightmares to the prince, he saw that he is been eaten by kuweni after several days he investigated the place that he first met kuweni and and saw a cave full of human skulls and bones he was chilled at that moment and ordered kuweni and he kicked kuweni and her kids out of the castle.But she didn't had a intention to cannibalise the king. She went to the forest in agony and she was caught by the yaksha group (most of them was relatives of kuweni)she helped her son and daughter to flee away. She was killed by the cannibal group because she has go against the cannibal law and disrespected there race.Believe or not this is a real historical event that happened in srilanka.
Yep, totally correct. The actual story originated in India.
That's actually very interesting, do you know where I could find more information about this
Your comments are the best part of the stories!!! And please tell us about the Island where woman spread legs and get preggo! That sounds hilarious!
I think many man in that era were either gay in a closet or just woman haters/feared woman dude… we won’t bite… much.

What a wondeful story! Horny! Demon genocide! Conquest! It's got everything I like!
Your humor was all over the place. Some good jokes, some ok jokes, but the one that made me laugh was when you mentioned how Americans will gesture vaguely south.
There are theories that these stories started out in a single location and spread out since the mermaids are based off the ancient Greek Sirens and there are similar stories in the Middle East and India. The Greeks could have gotten the story of the Sirens from somewhere else or invented it themselves. The Sirens are from the Odyssey and no one is even sure how old it is since Homer wrote it in the 8th century BC but some people think he merely strung a bunch of existing stories/legends together using Odysseus as a main character, so it could be far older then just 2800 years. The Greeks did have a vast network of traders that spread their culture far and wide with a Greek kingom existing as far east as northern India and there are even depictions of Greek hoplites on ancient Han graves, the Terracotta army was likely inspired by Greek art styles, the Yin-Yang symbol first appeared on a hoplites shield, and China's military horses were descended from those originally brought to Bactria from Greece (supposedly in turn descended from the horses used by Alexanders Companion Cavalry). Japan in turn drew much cultural influence from China so its possible thats where they got this from.
