Dagon was the father of the gods in ancient Syria, as well as a god of fertility, prosperity, and kingship. Because his name sounds similar to the Hebrew word for "fish," Dagon is mistakenly called a sea god in medieval texts, and gets reinvented as a fish-like demon.

“Back home there was a heat wave. Arthur’s Seat was on fire, as were the Cairngorms … we felt untethered from time, from nature’s predictable rhythms. How one week felt like four seasons. A local artist said that the effects of climate change had been felt in the arctic for a long time, & that it seemed that us southerners were only noticing it now.”
Iona Lee considers storytelling as a means of survival in colder climates
I just realized that I have the perfect anti-AI story:
King Cormac and the Silver Branch
It's an Irish legend about a wise king who is visited by a mysterious otherworldly stranger bearing a silver branch with golden apples. Shaking the branch produces such a wonderful music that people immediately forget their pain and sorrows and daily worries.
King Cormac covets the branch, and is willing to pay whatever price the stranger sets for it.
