Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Unknown Sea, also rendered as Unknown Sea, is a novel written by Clemence Housman and published in 1898 by Duckworth. It is her second novel, following on the 1896 edition of "The Were-Wolf", but whereas that tale is a short piece originally written for a magazine, The Unknown Sea was written to be published as a novel from the start and therefore is about four times the length of its predecessor.The Unknown Sea is a participant in the Undine-esque tradition of a soulless female water spirit becoming romantically involved with a soul-bearing male human.

comment
But Not Too Foreign: Christian has fair hair and clear grey eyes that betray he's from a northern race, quite like the audience Housman wrote The Unknown Sea for. He was the lone survivor of a shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea and was adopted by a local couple, thus allowing the story an exotic setting.

Armor-Piercing Response: Upon Diadyomene's question if Christian properly realizes it she who decides his fate, he retorts that while his life is in her hands, his soul remains in God's. Diadyomene had a soul herself once but exchanged it for a life below the waves, eternal youth, and power. For a second, Christian's words cut through to what she has lost, to the point she forlornly looks around as if her soul is up for grabs somewhere in her garden.

Apparently Human Merfolk: Diadyomene once was human, but she traded her soul for eternal life under water. Her appearance hasn't changed from when she was human and at most has gained an ethereal quality.
