Devil Whale (original) (raw)
The Devil Whale is a legendary demonic whale-like sea monster (or a sea turtle in some legends). According to myths, this whale is of enormous size and could swallow entire ships. It also resembles an island when it's sleeping, and unsuspecting sailors put ashore on its back. When the sailors start a fire, the Devil Whale awakes and attacks the ship, dragging it to the bottom of the sea. Because of this Christianity began associating the whale with the Devil. This story is found in Sinbad the Sailor.

Según los mitos, esta ballena es de gran tamaño y podría tragar barcos enteros. Se dice que tiene el aspecto de una isla cuándo está durmiendo, y los marineros desprevenidos desembarcan en su espalda. Cuándo los marineros empiezan un fuego, la Ballena del Diablo despierta y ataca el barco, arrastrándolo hasta el fondo del mar. Debido a esto el cristianismo empezó a asociar la ballena con el Diablo. Esta historia es descrita en Sinbad el Marino. (es) 惡魔鯨是傳說中的水怪之一，第一次出現在布伦丹。根據神話，這隻鯨魚的體型很大，可以吞下整艘船。後來常被兒童圖書使用此題材。 (zh) |
