Most interesting. Had my doubts, but I guess what was posted on Wikipedia was true, after all. Googled the quotation to see if there were more details, turns out Johnny Depp Reads forums also made the connection before filming even began. Believe it or not, I even looked on succubus' Wikipedia article to see if it has any relation - no mermaid, but a brief siren mention. Though I suppose that's not much a difference as OST's mermaids seem to be an apparent blend of the "women of the seas" folklore.

Good find! :)
