Notes:
Ceylon, a city of she-goblins with no men.
They have magic powers and can create minor illusions to entice men in which after they get bored they eat.
500 sailors wrecked on the island and they were fooled too, until one captain saw his wife returning from a nightly killing with man meat in her mouth, giving a small chant that revealed her true nature
Only some men believed the captain, and with the aide of a fairy who hated the goblins some men were allowed to escape on the back of a magic pegasus, while the rest stayed behind, only to be eaten the next night.
This story was a cute little tale that one could argue enforces the ideal of putting the man first, I almost wanna know more about these she-goblins.
