In Komi mythology, Vakul is the water deity.

A fisherman once hurt an eye of a big pike and was taken by Vakul under the water – that pike was Vakul’s son, so the deity took the poor fisherman’s eye and implanted it into his son’s eye socket.

All the infections that the sun sucks up
From fens, flats, on Prosper fall and make him
By inch-meal a disease! His hear me
And yet I needs must curse. —The Tempest, Act II, Scene 2 by William Shakespeare

“Away to the Dismal Swamp he speeds—
His path was rugged and sore,
Through tangled juniper, beds of reeds,
Through many a fen where the serpent feeds,
And man never trod before. “
by Thomas Moore
