Bacchus all the way! What can I say, I like a good party! My sweetie dressed as him for Halloween a few years ago and it was a great time, with lots of grapes eaten and drank in his honor... I just like the idea of a god of revelry.

Somewhere around here, I have a book with a Kraken pictured in it, about 5 times larger than a blue whale! I would think something like that would make quite a splash washing up on shore!
