Odyssey
Massive rocks torn from a mountain and hurled by the blinded Cyclops at Odysseus' fleeing ship.
Then he picked up a rock much larger than the first, swung it aloft and hurled it with prodigious force.
"He got more and more furious as he heard me, so he tore the top from off a high mountain, and flung it just in front of my ship so that it was within a little of hitting the end of the rudder.
Adversus Marcionem
The rock from which Israel drank in the wilderness, identified by Paul and Tertullian as a figure of Christ.
For if that rock was Christ, surely it was the Creator's, whose also was the people.
