Sthenelos = >abram
Sthenelos married (CDCM, s.v. "Sthenelus"4) NIK-ippe. Another NIK-ippe was priestess who induced such hunger (GM 24.b) as incited eating one’s own body (CDCM, s.v. "Erysichthon"). |
>abram married S`aray, who when she died was buried in (B-Re>s^it 23:19) the cave Ma-kpelah (‘folded’ < Strong’s 3717 /kapal/ ‘to fold together’). {Is self-devouring to be regarded as folding into one’s self?} |
NIKe was a winged goddess. |
The name />aBRam/ may be derived from (Strong’s 84) />eBRah/ ‘feather’. |

Yis^ma<>el had 12 sons. |
The eyen of Eurustheus were torn out (CDCM, s.v. "Eurystheus"). |

The head of Eurustheus was buried at (GM 146.c) Tri-koruthos (‘triple helmet’). |
{a ‘triple-helmet’ would be a Norse horned one} |
some labors of Heraklees
The substitution of (Strong’s 6959) /QO^Ba</ for /ko^ba</ (Strong’s 3553 ‘helmet’) may allude (via the ‘triple helmet’) to the triple-bodied Geruoneus, whither Heraklees voyaged in (GM 132.c) a "goblet" (‘goblet’ is Strong’s 6907 /QUBBA<at/). |
The dung in the stables of ("A"4) Yis.h.aq may refer that that in (GM 127.a) the cattle-byres of Augeias. Dung is useful as compost for growing mushrooms, the namesake of Mukenai ruled by Eurustheus. |

The exodos (a procession for the corpse of Ya<qob’s son Yo^sep) passed nigh the abode of the <NAQi^m. |
