Scya is the female monster of Greek myth transplanted to the coast of Gallia Narbonensis in Antiterra: “a woman lying among wolves,” met by the Regulators when they landed on the French coast with the 300 Atlanteans after 21 December 1889.

The Greek curse
Scya is the face of a Greek curse set loose by the Inevitables, mechanical spirits of cosmic order, on the descendants of the Atlanteans, as punishment for their attempt 9,000 years ago to enslave the Mediterranean. The Inevitables act for that vengeful Greek memory, the one recalled by the Egyptian priest of Plato’s Timaeus about Atlantis.
Form
A female figure encircled by fierce canines that protect and extend her. In her is present the animal of Gaul, Lupus, the wolf — the emblem carried by Roman centurion standard-bearers. With illusion magic she can simulate a harbor. Charybdis appears behind her.
She is pictured rising from the waves to the waist, diademed, calm, with six or seven wolf heads emerging from the sea around her, snarling outward; small armed men have just landed on the shore at left, and the sun is setting.
Defeat
The Regulators defeat her and win the wolf standards, planted after the battle as the heroes’ banner and carried in the later string of battles toward Paris. Their advance overland continues through Carcassonne.
