Typhon is the Western Vrtra. the maleficent aspect of the weather-god.

Greece and Rome shares a common development: in both places the Storm-God
was mingled with the Sky-Father. In PIE mythology Sky Father *Dyeus was the
father of main deities, including the raging warrior Storm-God (cf.
Dyaus/Indra, Odin/Thorr). In Greece and Rome Dyeus was mixed with Storm-God,
and maybe absorbing too the Dumezilians Sovereigns, Terrible (Jupiter
Stator) and Law-Giver (Dius Fidius). In Greece the scenario is more complex
to make ultimated assumptions, but the "fathery" role of *Dyeus was
transfered to Ouranos, while Zeus became the Storm-God, probably absorbing
traits of Semitic Ba'al and Anatolic Teshub (and even Sumerian Enlil).
The relation of trio Zeus-Poseidon-Hades seems very similar to Ugaritic
Baal-Yam-Mut, with the most demonic features transfered to Typhon. The
struggle Kronos x Zeus is more like Kumarbish x Teshub; and the rivality
between the smart Prometheus and the ferocious Zeus seems to me an echo of
Enlil x Ea quarrellings in Mesopotamian mythology.

Assunto: Re: [tied] Re: Swiftness of Indra

Absolutely untrue.

As Joao and I have told you: they both stem from a common source.

You need to read Harrison.

I did not say Jupiter was a "nature spirit".

He is not a big elf.

He represents sovereignty. Controlling the weather is only one of the ways
he demonstrates his supreme dominion -- but only one.

*p&te:r- is not 'biological father' but family/clan/ tribe leader.

Greek and Roman religion resembled each other long before they came into
regular contact.
