I regard it as just an ancient myth but I am amused by a piece of artwork it inspired: the sign for The Perseverance Inn, in the village of Staines, near London.

In the background, a very long way away across a broad desert plain, is Noah's Ark. Dominating the foreground, is one animal very determined not to miss the boat. It is a snail.

@ArishMell Just the one?

@ninalanyon LOL!

It does show the optimistic gastropod in close perspective, so I like to think its partner was just behind it!

I hope it and more especially the pub itself are still there.
