About the name Ensis and the origin of the legend
The name Ensis comes from Latin and translates as sword. The Ensis Taurasi tells the story of two young men, Vesevo and Sebeto, who were both in love with a beautiful woman named Leucopetra. Leucoptera, however, was a sea nymph. They both courted her for a long time, but she could not decide between them. One day, while she was looking for shells on the beach, Vesevo and Sebeto appeared before her and started a terrible fight. Leucopetra was so frightened that she ran into the water and called for her father. Neptune transformed her into the largest and most beautiful of the waves (or, according to other sources, the most beautiful cliff in Capri).
Sebeto, shaken by the pain, wept so desperately that he turned into a river, which mysteriously disappeared thousands of years later. Vesevo, on the other hand, lost his mind and was consumed with grief and rage. The fire of his love turned into the fire of the volcano Vesuvius.
