  • "There came a sound, as if from within the
    EarthZeus' hollow thunder boomed, awful to
    hear.The horses lifted heads towards the skyAnd
    pricked their ears while strange fear fell on
    us,Whence came the voice. To the sea-beaten
    shoreWe looked, and saw a monstrous wave that
    soaredInto the sky, so lofty that my eyesWere
    robbed of seeing the Scironian cliffs.It hid the
    isthmus and Asclepius' rock.Then seething up and
    bubbling all aboutWith foaming flood and breath
    from the deep sea,Shoreward it came to where the
    chariot stood."     - Euripides, The Hippolytus
