Say

Aquarius tales

In many Upper Silesian places there are legends of mermen , in Źlinice there are two Aquarian say. One legend tells of an Aquarius who makes sacrifices, another is about dancing Aquarian daughters.

A rich owner once had meadows on the Oder. Every year at the hay harvest he missed a servant until he discovered the secret of the missing servants. An Aquarius was nearby in the Oder and early in the morning took the servants as victims. But one day a servant resisted and handcuffed Aquarius after a tough fight. Thereupon the Aquarius asked the servant that the owner of the meadows should pick him up with a cart. Then the Aquarius drove away with his invisible belongings.

The Aquarian daughters are said to have lived with their father in a pond between Zlönitz and Klein Schimnitz and are said to have loved dancing, which is why they were not absent from any dance music in Zlönitz. As they were lively dancers, they were very welcome in town, but they always disappeared from the events before 11:30 p.m. When asked why they were leaving so early, they replied that their father would stab them in anger if they returned too late. But one day they were late and the water in the pond turned red and the Aquarian daughters were never seen again.
