Enceladus

I was watching a TV science program about Saturn this morning and heard the name, Enceladus, which is the name of Saturn's sixth largest moon.  I was unfamiliar with the name, so I researched the name on the internet and discovered the was the name of a mythological giant.  The name, Enceladus, was also given to a ship commissioned by the U S Navy during WII. 

The USS Enceladus (AK-80) was a cargo ship that operated in the Pacific Ocean, manned by the U S Coast Guard.  The crew received three medals; American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal and the WII Victory medal.

In Greek mythology, Enceladus was a giant monster that was thought to be vanquished and buried beneath Mt Aetna, but still causing quakes and eruptions.  The following few lines are from Virgil's Aeneid.

Enceladus, his body lightning-scarred

lies prisoned under all, so runs this tale.

O'er him gigantic Aetna's breath in fire

from crack and seam; and if he haply turn

       to change his wearied side, trembles and moans

 and thick fumes mantle heaven
