The sea rose when the barriers dividing the Black Sea from the Mediterranean burst, releasing waters from the Black Sea in a great torrent that washed over part of the coast of Asia and the lowlands of Samothrace.
The survivors on Samothrace retreated to the mountains and prayed for deliverance.
On being saved, they set up monuments to the event and built alters on which to continue sacrifices through the ages.
Fishermen still occasionally draw up parts of stone columns in their nets, signs of cities drowned in the sea. [Frazer, pp. 167-168]
