       @jonlord Fantastic photo and interesting alt text. Is there any connection between King Cnut and “Cuchulain’s Fight with the Sea,” as in the Yeats poem?

       A lot of different rulers and historical figures fought the sea! Cnut, Cú Chulainn, Caligula and Xerxes I are the ones that come to mind - I'm sure there are others too! Now, some of these may be legends and apocraphyl stories but it seems people really had it in for the sea back in the day 😂✨

       @NotAHopeInHades Huh, good to know! It would be interesting to look up those stories and compare.

       Some of it has definitely got to be people spreading rumours for them to seem stupid. 😂✨ But then again, people do dumb things to this day!
