Hippocampus
The hippocampus comes from both Phoenician and Greek mythology, although its name is purely Greek: ‘hippos’ means horse and ‘kampos’ means sea monster.
The creature has the head and front legs of a horse and the tail and hindquarter of a serpent, fish or a dragon.
The hippocampus fed on plants found at the bottom of the ocean. They were extremely loyal and graceful creatures.
The hippocampus was shown drawing the chariot of Poseidon, the God of seas, earthquakes and horses.

Гиппокампус (гиппокамп) происходит из финикийской и греческой мифологии, хотя его название чисто греческое: «гиппос» означает лошадь, а «кампос» — морской монстр.
У этого существа голова и передние ноги лошади, а хвост и задняя часть — змеи, рыбы или дракона.
Гиппокампус питался растениями, растущими на дне океана. Они были чрезвычайно преданными и грациозными существами.
Гиппокампус изображался запряженным в колесницу Посейдона, бога морей, землетрясений и лошадей.

The English word law refers to limits upon various forms of behaviour. Some laws are descriptive: they simply describe how people, or even natural phenomena usually behave, the others are prescriptive. Some of them are customs,some are rules we accept. And some are precise laws made by nations and enforced against all citizens within their power.
<span>Public laws establish the authority of the government itself, and civil laws provide a framework for interaction among citizens. </span>
Without laws, it is argued, there would be anarchy in society.
Sometimes laws are simply an attempt to implement common sense. <span>But in order to be enforced, common sense needs to be defined in law, and when definitions are being written, it becomes clear that common sense is not such a simple matter.</span>
In practice, governments are neither institutions solely interested in retaining power, nor clear-thinking bodies implementing justice and common sense. They combine many purposes and inherit many traditions. The laws that they make and enforce reflect this confusion.
