The oxen of Geruon were bled every 50 days (GM 132.e). |
There were some 50 Lono gods worshipped (HD, p. 392). |
|
Geruon's oxen were crimson-haired (Apollodoros : Bibliotheka 2:106). Geruon owned the watchhound Orth[r]os. |
Lono-ka->ehu ('the red-haired') owned (HM, p. 347) the warhound Ku->ilio-loa, who was devoured alive by carnivorous plants, |

S`is`u-pala : similarity to the Minoan myth
Maha-bharata |
Hellenic |
Norse; Irish |
“The kings watched a sublime radiance rise forth from the body of” S`is`u-pala. “In a cloudless sky heaven rained forth and blazing lighting struck and |
Minos “sent the lightning.”(BP&F, p. 383) Now, “the lightning had come from a clear sky” (BP&F, p. 383, n. 72); whereupon Minos addressed |
cf. seizure of the Mjo,lnir by Trymr (according to the Tryms-kvida) |
the earth trembled.”” (Mahabharata, “Sabha” parvan, ll. 1582-9 – SW, vol. 2, pt. 1, p. 65) |
“king Poseidon, thy sire” (BP&F, p. 383) : Theseus's father Poseidon being the Earth-shaker. |
cf. Loki the Earth-shaker |
S`is`u-pala abducted (SW, p. 59) the bride of Babhru. Babhru was slain by his own father Arjuna. |
For Minos, Theseus recovered a signet-ring (GM 98.j). When he was seeking his father, Theseus had been almost slain (GM 97.d) by his own father Aigeus. |
Father-seeking, the ring-wearing son (“Connla”) of Setanta was slain by Setanta. |
Babhru's mother was Ulupi (PI, s.v. “Babhruvahana I”) 'Soft grass' [e.g., for Muslim corpse-stuffing]. |
Theseus's mother was Aithra ('Transparent') [: cf. transparent h.uriyah goddesses for dead Muslim warriors]. |
Connla's mother was stalwart warrioress Aife (“Aife”). |

pitless cherrylike fruit
From the blood of Geruon originated a “stoneless cherry-like fruit” (GM 132.d), which may be the cranberry ('CRANe-bird's berry'), inasmuch as the thief of Geruon's cattle was named (GM 132.n) /Re-CaRANos/ ('a CRANe again') the redincarnate. |
