some interesting websites and reckless speculation

http://www.levity.com/alchemy/caezza3.html http://www.theoi.com/Tartaros/Kholkian.html I was thumbing through the glossary of my copy of Apollonius' Argonautica when I stumbled across the entry for Typhon and realized that he is the father of the unsleeping serpent that guards the Golden Fleece. So I spent the next hour or so googling around randomly and came across these two sites. The first is interesting because it places the Golden Fleece as a solar representation. I don't expect anyone to buy this but the Kholkian Drakon (do inhumi sleep?), the offspring of Typhon is the guardian of the Golden Fleece (which I read somewhere could also be a golden apple)/Sun. What I mean is Quetzal, the offspring of Typhon (or a clone thereof), is the guardian (via the Chapter) of Silk (the Long Sun). I know, I know, you don't buy it. Still it's in the record now. The other thing this site does is tie the story of the Golden Fleece through alchemy to Tantric Yoga. Remember the Tamarind tree in LS? This second site is incredible. I could spend days wandering through it but I'm focusing on the Kholkian Drakon. It has two possible paternities for it. The first is the most intriguing considering how Inhumi reproduce. It is the offspring of the BLOOD (emphasis mine) of Typhon and Gaia. The other paternity is Typhon and Ekhidna. I'll let others' speculation run on this. Still, whatever you think of my ideas, check out this site. It's really great. I don't think the Golden Fleece/India connection is too farfetched either. Apparently Colchis was heavily influenced by Indian civilization, though I must confess I haven't done much poking around in that area. that's all Don
