Post-Naturalist Triumph and Romantic Trenchs in the 21st Century. Peter Benchley and The Kraken (2)

Okay.

But how does it explain the legends of krakens attacking humans?

Well, octopuses have attacked submarine divers, we have the footage.

But there is another element at work: sharks.

We need to take them in account when talking about krakens.

... No evidence of what causing the attacks.

The kraken legend starts.

To quote Victor Hugo:

"These creatures are antipha(ntoms)

as much as monsters.

They are proved

and yet umprobable."

The kraken is ennerving because it resembles a real animal.
