There are some interesting parallels between Book
of Judges and IE myths.
JOSHUA - parallyzed Sun and Moon (Cosmic Order);
Jericho Walls fall (attack withouth physical combat) - similar to VARUNA, the
Terrible Sovereign
SHAMGAR and SHAMSHUN - Supernatural Strength,
they kill alone hundreds of warriors. - similar to VAYU
JEFTE - gives his daughter as promised. - similar
to MITRA, Jurist Sovereign (lost of hand)
IBSAN, ELON and ABDON - period of peace and
fertility - Third Function
I would add Moses crossing Red Sea - VISHNU three
steps?
Moses was married to a Midianite woman. Could these
IE myths be an inheritage of Midianite influence? Moses's father-in-law was the
Midianite JETHRO...any etymology for this name? Something like
YATHRAWA?
