You missed my point on Baal where he fights Mot, the god of the underworld
and ruler of the dead. Mot was baked to perfection in an oven at around 450
degrees C. Things that make you go "Hmmmm....".
Further, I also suspect Vulcan as another aspect of a firey underworld in
connection with *PexwrGnnos. Further yet, in case it hasn't yet drilled into
John's stubborn head, the "burning" qualities of the Styx... etc, etc,
etc...
