The Climactic Spear-Throwing Scenes of Celtic Myth: Lugh as Yudhishthira-Mitra and Balor as one of the Rudras
https://taliesinsmap.blogspot.com/2021/01/the-climactic-spear-throwing-scenes-of.html?m=1
We compare the three climactic spear-throwing scenes of Irish Lugh and Welsh Lleu with that of the Indian Yudhishthira to further establish the paradigm of the Mitraic god.
This is the great climactic kill that ends the Great War and brings peace and victory, and it is the prerogative of the Lawful Sovereign.

Here at The Sun Riders, our goal is to cover and inform about several different branches of Indo-European culture, myth, and religion. Our articles on comparative mythology demonstrate beautifully how closely connected we all are as heirs of Indo-European thought and spirit.
To symbolize our common source and to pay homage to the richness of art styles which have sprung forth from our peoples, we have created this fusion design of a Sun Disc, which we proudly feature in our shop, for example on this classic zip hoodie.
We incorporated a Celtic art style in the centre of the disc, a Germanic style in the ring around it, and finally a Slavic style in the outer ring.
This sentiment of brotherhood among our cultures is of prime importance to us.

The Lycurgus cup is a Roman glass cage cup made of dichroic glass in the 4th century A.D.
It shows a different colour depending on whether or not light is passing through it; green when lit from in front and red when lit from behind.

'Steppe migrant thugs pacified by Stone Age farming women'
"When present day European genetics was formed during the beginning of the Bronze Age 5,000 years ago it was a result of migrating Yamnaya pastoralists from the Caspian steppe encountering Stone Age farmers in northern and eastern Europe. A grand synthesis article argues that young Yamnaya warriors belonging to raiding parties married local Stone Age women, settling and adopting a more agrarian lifestyle. During this process, where the Corded Ware Culture was formed, a new Proto-Germanic dialect appeared."

The Dagda, the Irish Wind Harvester: Part 1 of 2
https://taliesinsmap.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-dagda-irish-wind-harvester-is.html?m=1
This is an updated version of the recently posted Dagda article, with only small changes emphasizing that Dagda likely combines both wind and sky roles. Thanks for reading.
“Just as the first and third functions have two representative deities who form a partnership or duad (Mitra-Varuna, for example), in a similar way the second function has for its exemplars the two contrasting warrior gods – in Vedic myth and hymn: Indra and Vayu. Dumezil describes their contrast as the same as that seen between Achilles and Hercules, calling the first “the chivalrous,” and the second “the brutal.””

The Dagda, the Irish Wind Harvester: Part 2 of 2
https://taliesinsmap.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-dagda-irish-wind-harvester-part-2.html?m=1
Part two of the updated version of The Dagda article.
“Indeed, to a remarkable degree the Dagda preserves the archetype of the brutish and powerful lord of life and wind [...] The Dagda does have myths that seem to belong to Father Sky as well, as we have illustrated in our Iliad analysis. But this simply does not complete the picture. The idea that the Dagda is simply the primordial sky god in fact has the preponderance of cases against it and thus a more daunting burden of proof. Again and again, considering figures like Zeus, Jupiter, Varuna, Enlil, and perhaps Odin, we see Father Sky-like figures who seem to have absorbed at least one other god as if making it their active aspect, or as if that god has pushed his way onto the sky kingship, or in some other way has combined the Father Sky role with other roles.”

The Heroes of the Iliad as Indo-European Gods: Old Man Nestor
https://taliesinsmap.blogspot.com/2020/09/nestor-and-high-priest-of-word.html?m=1
Building on our Iliad series and our investigation of the High Priest of the Word we are now ready to take a look at the figure of Nestor.
Is the boastful, oldest man of the Iliad a Horse Twin — gods of eternal youth — as his name may suggest, or is he a priestly figure, an incarnated god of speech?
