Description

The Legend of Iara, also known as the Legend of the Water Mother, is part of Brazilian folklore. It is a folkloric legend of indigenous origin, originating from the Amazon region. Iara or Yara, from the indigenous Iuara, means "she who lives in the waters". Iara is often confused with the African orixá Iemanjá, the queen of the sea. With long black hair and brown eyes, the mermaid emits a melody that attracts men, who are captivated and hypnotized by her singing and sweet voice. Iara was a brave warrior with an enviable beauty. For this reason, her brothers were jealous of her and decided to kill her. However, at the moment of combat, because she has warrior skills, Iara manages to reverse the situation and ends up killing her brothers. In the face of this, very afraid of the punishment of her father, the shaman of the tribe, Iara decides to run away, but her father manages to find her. As punishment for the death of her brothers, he decides to throw her into the river. The fish in the river decide to save the beautiful young girl by transforming her into a mermaid. Since then, Iara inhabits the Amazonian rivers, conquering men and then taking them to the bottom of the river, where they drown. It is believed that if a man man manages to escape Iara's charms, he goes mad, in a state of torpor, and only a shaman can cure him. Digital Collage | GIF 2022
