  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?.....
