"The sun was a wheel ... like a chariot-wheel"
~ AETIUS, d. 367, Syrian theologian
in this context i cannot help but feel there may indeed be a
connection - if not etymological then by association - between the
name 'Helios' and the noun 'helix' [i.e. 'spiral'], in terms of the
spinning wheel motif?
