Notes on Goblin City from The Giant Crab, and Other Tales from Old India, by W. H. D. Rouse
About Goblins:
- rakshasas are males
- rakshasis are female
Goblin City is based on female goblins- powers include shape shifting
- goal is to lead men astray
- they are carnivorous
- two-faced, show kindness, but they are not
About Sailors:
- they are the goblins victims
- they are lucky
- captain woke up and discovered the goblins plan
- like all good fairy tales, the fairy godmother saves the day
- winged horse saved the captains followers, not the doubters
