Well, 12 year old Cilinia did connive against her father with one of his deadly enemies. Proto-Echidna was no child. I would not have any trouble imagining all sorts of treachery from Typhon's children regardless of how small.... however, your next point is rather more...eh....pointy. > As for the notion that Piaton was/is Typhon's son . . . my blood pressure is > much too high as it is.

You doctor wants me to tell you to take a pill, Roy. ;-) But your point is well taken. I find this point more frustrating than you can possibly imagine even with your chronically high blood pressure [no surprise there, I'm afraid. ;-)]. I concede. There is no good reason to suppose Piaton=Hieros. ~ Crush "Piaton was one of my slaves" ~ Typhon "We slaves. Pas own." ~ Cilinia ---
