Sea Eye, the wound of the ocean.
Those who had never seen it with their own eyes often attempted to describe it with florid language.
People imagined it as a massive whirlpool, speculating on the sound of colliding waves.
Poets depicted it as the Abyss, calling it the source of the ocean's darkness.
Before he came here in person, Heracles had read many accounts about it and queried elders about the real appearance of the Sea Eye.
With Olymus's firsthand narrative, the great hero even thought he had understood it enough.
But it wasn't until he sailed into this place himself that he faced the terror striking straight into his soul, Heracles realized how inadequate mere words could be at times.
Sound seemed devoured, the surge of the waves was no longer visible.
Light could not penetrate here, for the sea's loathing for the sun converged in this place.
