Скачать или смотреть The Real History of The Little Mermaid | Ariel, Mythology & Disney's Changes

You think you know Ariel—but the real story of The Little Mermaid is darker, older, and far more tragic than Disney ever told you.

In this episode of Historically Gaming, The Fit Historian explores the original 1836 fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen, the ancient global history of mermaids, and how Disney’s 1989 The Little Mermaid both transformed and erased centuries of mythology and meaning.

✨ We’ll dive into:

The brutal truth behind Hans Christian Andersen’s version

Mermaids in Greek, African, Asian, and Polynesian mythology

Sailor superstitions, sea lore, and feminist interpretations

How Ariel changed the Disney Princess archetype forever

📌 Was Disney’s Ariel an empowering update—or a betrayal of the original mermaid?
