Photographer’s Note

Poseidon,traying to help Zeus while he was combating the Titans, was pursuing the terrible giant Polyvotis on the beachside and in the seas.
Arriving in front of the island of Kos he detached with his trident a part of the island, he launched it against Polyvotis and he buried him underneath.

The island of Nisyros is created by this fragmentary part of the island of Kos. The volcano was created in the place where the mouth of Polyvotis is whereas the periodical earth vibrations are also due to the continuous laboured breathing of the buried Titan's chest.
