Syrena kissed Philip, confirming the legend that a mermaid's kiss prevents drowning by giving him the ability to breathe underwater, and pulls him into the pool. Philip was taken by Syrena as they swim through the pools to freedom. His further fate is unknown.
She most likely went to stop the ritual, she didn't want her tear to be used by the likes of Blackbeard. And she probably had a feeling that Jack would use it wisely.
Legend has it the sirens would tempt sailors with their beautiful song and drive them to shipwreck on the rocky shores of the islands in the sea. Some depictions have even described men leaping haplessly from their ships into the waves of sea after the sounds of the sirens' voices.
During the jungle trek, young missionary Philip Swift notices that she can not breathe and he opens the glass tank a little to allow air to flow through. When the glass coffin Syrena is being carried in breaks, the mermaid changes to a human form.
Philip became a mer-man and lived with Syrena the mermaid. We can say that he was able to breathe underwater after Syrena kissed him. There's no clear ending since the movie only shows the mermaid dragging Philip. The mermaid Syrena saved Philip and didn't kill him like the other mermaids.
The merfolk of Isla Sirena served as agents of the Sirens, dragging many sailors down to a watery grave. Other tales told that mermaids were known to gather at Whitecap Bay for hundreds of years, thereby striking terror in the heart of sailors and pirates alike.
The reasoning behind the Sirens' actions were never truly explained though in Greek mythology (like many mythologies) the supernatural world often had little explanation and the spirits and gods could torment mortals as they saw fit, though it's very likely that they are man eaters.
Sometimes a Siren will fall in love with a human. However, the land and sea are two different worlds. Tales of mermaids who tried to overcome this great divide usually end in sadness and heartbreak. Known examples are Princess Thetis, Pania of the Reef and Nympha.
In their time together, Jack stole her innocence; thus Angelica was unable to take her vows. Although they were in love, Jack would soon leave her through unknown circumstances, after which time Angelica became a formidable female pirate.
Why did Jack turn into a skeleton in Pirates of the Caribbean?
Jack and Barbossa fought a fierce battle around the treasure cave until Jack stabbed Barbossa, who then pulled the sword out and stabbed Jack with it. However, once Jack stepped into the moonlight, he turned into a skeleton, revealing that he was cursed; having secretly palmed a piece of the Aztec gold.
Right before the film's climactic battle with the pirates at Isla de Muerta, Sparrow swipes a cursed coin from the treasure chest, making himself immortal and capable of dueling Barbossa. He shoots his nemesis with the pistol he has carried for ten years just as Will breaks the curse, killing Barbossa.
Legend has it that a kiss from a mermaid can give you some amazing abilities, including being able to breathe underwater. Other stories suggest that a kiss from a mermaid may also give the receiver other enchanting powers such as the ability to heal people.
Captain Jack Sparrow has a daughter. Birdie Sparrow has never met her father and her mother is dead, so she seeks to find her father. When she finally finds him, she can't te him the thruth instead works as part of the crew on his ship.
Because of their merfolk heritage, hybrids are immune to the siren song and its effects, as evident when Rick Marzdan picks up the phone but when he hears the song, he is unaffected.
For some time Sirens were depicted as being either men or women with bodies of fish or birds, but slowly developed. Men were the first thing to be phased out, and earlier fish became less popular, meaning that bird-women were the most famous image of these creatures.
This is especially evident during a scene in the movie where the mermaid Syrena (Astrid Bergès-Frisbey) is freed from her portable tank and the warm, goldfish-colored scales of her tail slowly morph into lovely human legs as she dries.
What sea creatures did sailors mistake for mermaids?
Mermaid sightings by sailors, when they weren't made up, were most likely manatees, dugongs or Steller's sea cows (which became extinct by the 1760s due to over-hunting). Manatees are slow-moving aquatic mammals with human-like eyes, bulbous faces and paddle-like tails.
In this mythology sirens were creatures whose enchanting music and song caused sailors to wreck their ships along rocky shores. In more recent times Henry Hudson in 1608 reported sighting a mermaid in the Arctic Ocean and the infamous English pirate Blackbeard recorded numerous sightings of mermaids.
Apparently in Greek Mythology a “mermaid” with two tails is actually called a siren. A what? A siren. So why would the ever popular coffee drinking cafe decide to use a siren as their logo?
The mermaid was only identified through a scene cut from the film, where Jack Sparrow calls the mermaid "Marina". It is possible that it was the improvisation of Johnny Depp, the portrayer of Jack, on set. The character was officially named "Marina" in the description of a promotional image for On Stranger Tides.
