Excerpt	Card Source
One-eyed and frightful, the cyclops lifted a boulder and hurled it seaward from cliff's edge, shattering masts and shattering sailors.	Nyxborn Brute
Storm-tossed and broken, Callaphe cried out to deep-dwelling Thassa. Tritons came swiftly to save her, bringing her north to the Lindus.	Nyxborn Seaguard
Callaphe guided them into darkness of Hetos, the bleak mire; Blood-horned minotaurs circled them, axes aglimmer in shadow.	Nyxborn Marauder

The Callapheia shares a similar name and structure to the epic poem The Odyssey, written by Homer near the end of the 8th century BC.
