In Response To: Hmm... (Bob-B-Q)

: When one of foreign speech casts a papyrus yoke upon the sea,
: Bethink you to keep the bleating goats far from Euboae.

: In the final game, 'sea' became 'marsh' and 'Euboae' became 'Lh'owon'...
: Simplifying the metaphor, or something more?

The Thoth section has some discussion on this. Including identifying Herodotus as the source of the above quote.

Cheers
