Constantinople Waged War on a Whale
THE TRUE LEGEND OF PORPHYRIOS
Social media lit up in spring with news that orcas were attacking boats in Portugal and Spain. Experts can’t agree on why, but it’s not the first time whales have gone rogue. The Byzantine Empire dealt with a similar problem in the form of a fearsome whale they named Porphyrios. Porphyrios struck terror in the hearts of those in Constantinople during the 6th century; he spent roughly 50 years attacking boats in the area. Then he would disappear for years, but the locals never knew when he would reappear to sink more ships. The whale caused so many problems that Emperor Justinian I prioritized killing him. But even renowned war strategists couldn’t take Porphyrios down. Unfortunately for Porphyrios, he beached himself near the Black Sea, and the Byzantines took advantage and viciously ended his reign. Despite his end, Porphyrios is still the only whale to threaten the Byzantine Empire.
