Why seahorses? Well, all in all seahorses have always intrigued me. With my favorite animal being a horse, the seahorse is almost like its miniature, aquatic cousin. Besides being peculiar creatures, they also hold places in mythology since ancient times. For Greeks and Romans, seahorses were affiliated with Poseidon and were considered symbols of power and strength. Other European civilizations believed they carried lost sailors’ souls to the underworld. Ancient Chinese saw them as a sort of sea dragon, and they were considered powerful and thought to be good luck. Seahorses are simple, delicate, and somber creatures. Now wouldn’t it be nice to be a seahorse for a day?
