I don't think there are any recorded instances of Giant Squid strandings in the Med.
I was under the impression that squid were quite prolific in the med, and figuire prominently in Mycenean imagery. In fact I even recall hearing that there was a famous sea monster in the bosphorus from classical times thought to be a giant squid.
Giant squid - or at least squid as large as those found in the pacific, sobigger than humans - might have been found in the med in pre-classical times.
