The River of Styx and Mount Olympus
were all parts of the mythical land
where legends come from. The River of Styx led straight from the mythical land to the Underworld. The Underworld was a land of pure hatred, evil zombies and skeletons that lived in this inferno of fury. The seas were acid, and the god who ran the whole show was Hades or Pluto. Mount Olympus led to the place where the gods hang out. In their world, there must be some kind of golden throne for Zeus. But away from that, let me tell you that an anaconda with a horn and a fin, made entirely from gold, may just be alive in the seas. |

Siren
In Greek mythology, sea nymphs lured
sailors with their singing, causing their ships to
crash into rocks. Greek hero Odysseus was able to pass the sea nymph's island safely. He got through because he plugged the ears of all the crew members with wax and had himself bound to the shipıs mast. In another legend, the Argonauts escaped the Sirens because the poet and the musician Orpheus, was also aboard the ship. Together they all stamped out the nymphıs song with the music and singing.

The Kraken is a sea monster, which is a
large squid like creature. Unlike some
squid, this is HUGE! Some people say that ship crashes were just a bad change of weather, or maybe a wave. However, some say, the Kraken attacked all the boats and put them in a watery grave. None of us know if this is true because, for one, none of the sailors who died can tell us what they saw. Second, it could just be a descendant of the infamous "devilfish". You still might want to be careful because, what the doom sayers say just might be true. |

Commonly known sea myths are about the Sea
Serpent, and the Giant Squid. Mermaids and Mermen
are well known too. Donıt let the nice stories about Mermaids and Mermen fool you. They kill every sailor who hears their song, by leading them into rocks. Did you know that Unicorns are a sea myth? They say that if you are a sailor, and you are away from your family for long, a Unicorn will rise from the sea and stop you. Scientists havenıt explored every inch of the sea. Serpents and monsters may or may not really exist. Scientists think the Unicorn is just a narwhale, but it could be a real. |

Poseidon was the Greek name for the god
of the sea. Neptune was the Roman name
for him. He was an important character in mythology. He raged with storms and earthquakes. When he was really angry, he split mountains in two and created islands. People believed that if they went out to sea, they could die from a Siren, or maybe, just maybe they would anger Poseidon or Neptune, and their boat would get split into an island. |
