The myth of the Kraken revolves around a giant sea creature believed to dwell off the coasts of Norway and Greenland. This legendary being, often depicted as an enormous octopus or squid, terrorizes sailors by dragging entire ships to the ocean depths. The Kraken serves as a metaphor for the unknown dangers of the sea, embodying the fears and mysteries of maritime life in Scandinavian folklore, and reflects humanity's struggle against the natural forces they cannot control.
