The
water, whose we have spoken, is above all the sea water; in
the depth psychology it represents the explosive power of
the unconscious.
But
water is also rain that falls from the sky to fertilize the land:
promise and life guarantee, because without the sacred union
between sky and earth, visible by the rain, there would not be
the crops, fruits and the animals.

Water
that falls like rain is of male sign (as it is told in the
Danae' Greek myth, who conceived the hero Perseo through Zeus
changed in golden rain), while the spring waters, populated by
fantastic and wonderful creatures, but also dangerous, are of
female sign. The Greek Naiadi are an example.
Other
dangerous water creatures, that live among sky, earth and sea,
but inevitable for a man who wants to know them, are the
Mermaids.
One
day, my dear reader friend, I will speak to you about the
Mermaid that is strictly linked to the land and the myth of
Naples: the Mermaid Partenope.
