Sea monsters are my favorite because they could be, or could have been, real. All legends and myths have a kernel of truth. Some have more than a kernel. 😉 Excellent work as always. If you read books, check out Fathom by Cherie Priest. Unusual sea monster story
We meet again as the sky here in Boston grows dark and foreboding. Perfect weather for enjoying this tale. Cheers my Friend and Thank You for another perfect escape. 😊
My childhood favorite mythological monster. It still bugs the hell out of me that a lot of people think it's a Greek creature thanks to a certain movie. 🦑🐙
Just one more thing. I think it's a Missed Opportunity that the Pirates of the Caribbean didn't call their giant cephalopod a Lusca, which is a native Caribbean version of the Kraken. 🦑🐙
The Kraken is more from Norse mythology then Greek. Also the creature was a huge Octopus the size of an island,not a fish man looking thing in Clash of the Titans. It should have been called Cetus,but Cetus was more like a Whale in Perseus's Myth.
And speaking of #EverythingIsSquishierWithCephalopods, it makes me laugh how a lot of "scientists" dismissed accounts of giant cephalopods, when they themselves could not claim to have mapped the entire ocean themselves. The same so-called "intellectuals" and "scholars" that dismissed stories of Troy and Mycenae, as if they checked every inch of dirt in Anatolia and Greece.
Very interesting 🧐
WOOHOO! LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!

Setting the record straight!
I think the kraken could have been real. And could still exist in the depths. We do not know the secrets of the oceans yet.
Exactly! Even today we’re discovering more and more new species.
Hollywood did fool me. I really thought the Kraken was Greek. But I wondered why Zeus was unleashing it and not Poseidon. Thank you!!
Those mischievous blighters.

What an organization that makes fictional characters and stories got wrong about another fictional character/creature. Yes
