Sea Serpent

kraken, legendary sea monster of Scandinavian and Norwegian lore, perhaps
imagined from sightings ofgiant squids and octopi. Sailors have discussed giant
sea monsters for thousands of years, and Danish historian Erik Pontoppidan
described the kraken (as well as sea serpents and mermaids) in detail in
his Natural History of Norway (first published in Danish in 1752), claiming the
beast was "round, flat, and full of arms" and "the largest and most surprising
of all the animal creation." The sea monster is also the subject of Alfred, Lord
Tennyson’s poem “The Kraken” (1871):



> Below the thunders of the upper deep,
> Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
> His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
> The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
> About his shadowy sides; above him swell
> Huge sponges of millenial growth and height;
> And far away into the sickly light,
> From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
> Unnumber’d and enormous polypi
> Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
> There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
> Battening upon huge sea-worms in his sleep,
> Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
> Then once by man and angels to be seen,
> In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

In 2021, Seattle, Washington, gained a professional hockey team, which it named
the Seattle Kraken after the legendary sea monster and the giant
Pacific octopus found living in the waters of Puget Sound, where Seattle is
situated.
