The named rise and fall of the sea under lunar and solar pull. Not tsunami as a seismic wave, and not tide-jewels as story objects.

Roman religion

    Pliny’s Natural History seats tides among Book 2 seas that swell and fall with the moon. A named tide in that encyclopedia, not sea as the water body alone and not a maelstrom dump.

    from Pliny the Elder · Natural History, c. 77 CE

Shinto

  • Tide appears in Shinto.

    The Kojiki’s Hohodemi sea-palace cycle turns on tide jewels that raise and lower the waters. Named tide as the sea’s rise-and-fall in that narrative, not tide-jewels as the object alone and not a tide-table dump.
