Orpheus, whose decapitated headed remained oracular, |
Bran, whose decapitated headed remained oracular, |
had been a musician : by music he had tamed Kerberos in the realm of souls of the dead, |
had heard praeternatural music putting him to sleep (VBSF 2) |

while visiting the soul of his dead wife, Euru-dike. |
when a divine woman -- who controlled (VBSF 31) a magical branch -- |
|
invited him to visit the Island of Women. |

Trapi^m (human heads) were praeserved at H.arran. |
With the music thus assigned to aequivalents to Kronos, who is confined to a tower, cf. the music of the tower of Nisa : "at its foot lay a musical stone which, if pebbles were dropped upon it from above, rang like a lyre" (GM 91.b).

horses surmounting the crests of waves
Moninnan’s sea-faring chariot was pulled by horses over "waves beating across the clear sea" (VBSF 35). |
Erekhthonios (serpent-tailed, GM 25.d) owned mares whose fillies (begotten by Boreas, who "has serpent tails for feet", GM 48.d) "could race ... over the crests of waves." (GM 48.e). |
The serpent-tailedness in connection with seafaring could allude to the meshed-serpents raft of Quetzal-coatl whereon ensconced he voyaged toward Tlillan-tlapallan.

Moninnan’s horses strolled athwart the waves. |
In various siddha legends, a pond is strolled athwart by stepping from waterlily to waterlily. |

"Red-headed flowers" (VBSF 35) were envisioned by Manannan |
/PoDa-/ may indicate Skt. /PaDma/ (‘red waterLILY’) in the name of Poda-leirios, |
*/LIRIan/ (> /Tlillan/) is ‘red’ in Nahuatl in |
the son of LI`R. |
where /LEIRIos/ is ‘of the LILY’. |
the name of /Tlillan-tlapallan/ (< *labari ‘black’ = Anatolian "labarum"), |
The tale of the 3 daughters of king Li`r (Lear) in paralleled in frigid Lapland. |
the (Avalon-like) country in traveling toward which (by Quetzal-coatl and his troupe) the hunchbacks froze. |
"Red-headed" in the context of "Red-&-Black" country (the 2 lands of TL-MRI^) could allude to so-called "red-headed" (actually, red-turbanned) Taoist practitioners along with so-called "black-headed" (actually, black-turbanned) Taoist practitioners.

The "seal" may refer to those seals accompanying (GM 169.a) Proteus, who likewise rendered a prophecy. Is the "dragon" shape of Monga`n aequivalent to Dio-nusos, "a horned child crowned with serpents" (GM 27.a)? Dio-nusos was entertained by (GM 27.d) Proteus at Pharos. |
