According to legends, Sorrento was birthed from the love of mermaids in the area. An ancient Greek song narrates that Ulysses attempted to flee from the mermaid’s spell. He sailed through the Strait of Messina and was led by the sea to the Sorrento Peninsula. There, he built a temple dedicated to Athena for the help she gave him for survival.
Another interesting story is that there used to be two famers in the area who struggled in having children. They were rumored to have sought help from the mermaids of the region. Eventually, they gave birth to Sirentum, a baby girl. According to the elders, the girl grew up to be so stunning that a prince married her.
