ERICHTHONIOS

Erichthonios is the ancient Greek name for the sacred Sea Serpent according to contemporary books such as the Womans' Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets by Barbara G. Walker. This divinity had his own temple in the Parthenon. The nation state named after this divinity exists today on the Continent of Amphora. LOL

The map stamp in this blog post shows the boundaries and various cities of this region. The Altar of the Sea is a symbol of the yearly Festival of the Amphitrite. LOL
