I aspire someday to be personified as a sinister octopus

Strange Maps presents a history of the land octopus, its tentacles forever strangling the globe.

..."personified" isn't the word here, is it?

Cool link. I hadn't looked at "Strange Maps" for a while, thanks for reminding me of that site.

Non map related "personification as a sinister octopus", 1892:



Caricature of notorious New Orleans prostitute Emma Johnson from the New Orleans "Mascot". Or maybe it should be categorized as the earliest known US assimilation of the Japanese tradition of Tentacle Pr0n.
