I mean this: "Now the Byzantines, observing the earthquakes and learning the circumstances of the Nile's rise and the capture of this whale, began straightway to prophesy that such and such things would take place, according to the taste of each."

Your reading reminds me: I went to a bar with "narrative cocktails" in Leeds a few years ago & had a one inspired by Shackleton. After branding the ice cube with the compass stamp, the bartender put a drop of a red tincture on it. "Is it supposed to taste like blood?" I asked. He beamed.
