Re: adding Mint to the Marble Rose. Start (IV, 313). Then (IV,
380). Still doubtful? See (II, 208). Neat, huh?
Mantis, I don't think so. I had meant to point out that IV,379 (not 380)
was clearly a typo, a proofer's error, and I think 313 (which I hadn't
caught) is the same and that they both ought to be corrected before the
paperback comes out. II,208 is one of Silk's fever dreams, of which there
are several that merge identities--it can't be taken as proof of anything.
Sorry, I did get it backward: Magnesia is Marble's "maiden"
(pre-ordination) name. Molybdenum is the name of Hammersmith's former
sweetie that she pretends to be.
And I also erred in limiting Kypris to one screen in the face of my own
theophany list (I wrote my last post just before going to the hospital for
a few days for an infection, and obviously I was a bit light-headed
myself--see Silk above). But that doesn't counter my general observation,
which is that Kypris, and Kypris alone of the gods, was active before
Mamelta did a fix-it.

You ignore my paraphrasing of a Marble lie--I'm not sure why,
because you deem it not "the" important lie (that of claiming to be Moly)? The lie I went on about was a lie she was shrived (shriven?) for many times, which makes it seem of some import; it is a case where we have enough pieces to attempt to evaluate or judge the mendacity involved, to
try
to see how Marble is perceiving things; etc. Oh well.
I didn't exactly ignore it, I meant that it wasn't the one that was
upsetting her--and Silk too. That was the name change, quite clearly
(IV,337, 359). Actually, I don't quite understand the shriving one. Could
you spell it out?

Then again, I don't know if you intended it, but your message seems to suggest that "image free" Sphigx of militaristic Trivigaunte is actually a Tartaros run operation. Which I could certainly entertain. (Prior to this moment, I thought Tartaros was sleeping ala Cthulhu, like all the other major gods. Except for the dead one, of course. He's dead.)
If this is me you're still addressing: no, I never intended that, and, yes,
I do think that Tartaros, like every other god but Kypris, was indeed
deactivated or "sleeping" up until Mamelta's repairs. (And I suspect that some of them, those we never meet, are still deactivated.)

Do you think that the rebellion on the Whorl anticipates (echoes) the rebellion on Urth? Do you think that the end results are more different or more similar on post-exodus Whorl and post-Monarch Urth? Do you think it is a trap to think such thoughts? Hmmm.
No. Different. Yes.
