The fool he saith, the words are his:
"A bigger fish, there always is"
For though the mighty think me small
I can cause a titan's fall
And where I go, no giant follows
until with death I fill his hollows
Hid and silent, I have been
A seeing cyclops, yet unseen

What am I?

This is the second in a series of riddles written in the classic metric poetry format. See if you can work out the answer.

Sort:  

I would think a whirlpool of sorts, mainly based on the last line. Now I need to google if you get those kinds of whirlpools in the ocean.

Not a bad answer, but not right.

Oh, and thanks for reSteeming! It is rather hard to get things to pick up here.

It helps a lot to to interact, not just on steemit but there are few discords and steemit.chat , it helps people see you around , in fact steemit is one big fat popularity contest. Main things to remember are , post, comment a lot with good thought out or sincere comments, and vote everyday (you have 10 votes a day)
discords you can join

And obviously steemit.chat , which is great just for random chats and help with your account .

Thanks very much for a stupendously useful reply! If I might trouble you for one more thing, I seem to be doing something wrong in trying to get reply notifications. I use Firefox, and I have gone to the notifications settings and tried to add steemit.com, but it does not find the site...

No one really uses steemit itself for anything other than to post I think, personally I use busy.org as it has notification built in , and always have steemworld.org open which is also going to release mentions etc soon.

As for desktop notification I think you can use this https://steemit.com/steemit/@revo/steemnotify-me-steem-notifications-in-your-browser-update

But I am happy with my busy.org , steemit and steemworld.org combo.

Excellent, will try this. Thanks again.
