Love-Hounds-request@GAFFA.MIT.EDU (10/11/89)
Really-From: Eyebeam%UMASS.BITNET@mitvma.mit.edu (Mark Kirk.physics dept.UMassss) It was asked in a past "Love Hounds Digest" if anyone new of any other literature that might be behind the idea of "The Ninth Wave." In my studies of Scandanavian mythology I came across a very interesting bit of info. In traditional Scand. mythology the ninth wave is associated with a ram (sheep). The ram's association with the ninth wave in a group is still alive among Welsh fishermen. Just a coincidence?..... ----Mark K.
