Laestrygonians

So I sent two of my company with an attendant to find out what sort of people the inhabitants were.

But Antiphates raised a hue and cry after them, and thousands of sturdy Laestrygonians sprang up from every quarter - ogres, not men.

"The men when they got on shore followed a level road by which the people draw their firewood from the mountains into the town, till presently they met a young woman who had come outside to fetch water, and who was daughter to a Laestrygonian named Antiphates.

And he has suffered these things, having perhaps provoked the Laestrygonians against himself, and having fallen in with a Scylla in woman's form possessing a dog's inhumanity and savagery.
