The great Greek writer Idiocrates wrote that monk seals were so common around Greece that their noisy partying kept the peasants awake until the wee hours of the morning. The pre-Christian Greeks called the seals "Sons of Dionysus" and were much afflicted by the seals' pilfering of wine, sardines, and marijuana from their markets. However, the hard-partying "Sons of Dionysus" changed their ways rapidly after 1050 AD. Around that time the seals became captivated by the newly-established Christian monastic orders and -- a few at first and then in a wet landslide -- they became monks.

  • The great Greek writer Idiocrates wrote that monk seals were so common around Greece that their noisy partying kept the peasants awake until the wee hours of the morning. The pre-Christian Greeks called the seals "Sons of Dionysus" and were much afflicted by the seals' pilfering of wine, sardines, and marijuana from their markets. However, the hard-partying "Sons of Dionysus" changed their ways rapidly after 1050 AD. Around that time the seals became captivated by the newly-established Christian monastic orders and -- a few at first and then in a wet landslide -- they became monks. Carl von LinnĂ©, writing in 1765, noted that by then few people saw monk seals, and he assumed the population was quite small. Most of the male seals had sworn themselves to celibacy and many of the females had perished as the wimples the "nun" monk seals wore hindered their swimming. As a result very few young seals were born each year.
