This mangled tentacle of the huge scolopendra,

the deep-sea calamary as long as eight fathoms,

smeared over with foam and torn by the coral,

was found speadeagled here on the seashore

by Harmonax, when about his usual business

of fisherman, hauling his usual catches.

And now he has left it here hanging

for Ino and her offspring Palaemon,

for the gods of the sea, a sea-monster. 

– from the Greek Anthology, translated by Tony Harrison
