When they twisted the copper helmet off, kondos saw that he was scared out of his wits. Although most details of the Antikythera story differ in all accounts, everyone agrees on what Elias babbled as he crouched, terrified, on the foredeck of the diving boat, raving about the nightmare vision he had seen 180ft below:

"A heap of dead naked women, rotting and syphilitic...horses...green corpses."
-Peter Throckmorton, The Sea Remembers: Shipwrecks and Archaeology, p. 15.

However I also have this killer exam on Tuesday :p
