What is the "Leviathan"?
The Leviathan is a massive sea creature from ancient mythology and religious texts, often described as a powerful, fearsome beast that dwells in the deep ocean. In various traditions, it is seen as a symbol of chaos and destruction, representing the untamable forces of nature. The Leviathan is sometimes depicted as a giant serpent or dragon, capable of causing great destruction with its size and strength. Over time, the term has come to represent anything overwhelmingly large or difficult to control, especially in reference to the sea or powerful natural forces.
