ὢ πόποι ἦ ῥά τις ἐστὶ καὶ εἰν Ἀΐδαο δόμοισι ψυχὴ καὶ εἴδωλον

‘Salt water?’ I asked him.

Summary
Perhaps most fearsome among beasts is a monster with a sweet voice and an appetite that compels it to gorge on the marrow of men. It hid among the waves and in the crevices of the craggy rocks, its stringy hair slick along a back as pale as a fish's belly, its ocean-hued eyes forever fixed on the ship that carried the gallant Captain Lestrade.
In a world of madness and monsters, many a man meets his fate at the pointed teeth of an otherworldly creature.
