[Adamastor's] disillusionment coincides with Zeus's decision finally to punish the rebellious Titans. Some of them, as we know from Greek mythology, are buried under huge mountains; Adamastor is turned into the jagged outcrop of the Cape Peninsula... Rather exaggerated; but that is what happens to the truth when writers get their hands on it.
