Some who don't believe that Apollo was born on Delos believe that he was born in Lycia (adjacent to Lydia), or to proto-Lycians prior to their settling Lycia, which would explain the codeword that Apollo was known by, "Lykeios." Britannica says that this term means "wolf-god," wherefore I should share two things: 1) that "Cyclopes" looks like "Gog-lopes," the "lopes" part looking like "lupo" and "lupus," the Italian and Latin words for "wolf," and, 2) it is well known that the Cyclopes moved to Italy.

I know of the common line that "Kuklopes" means "round eyed," for the Greek "ophis" (Strong's Concordance # 3789) means "sharpness of vision" while "kuklos" means "cycle/round." However, as is typical of secret societies, there could be a double meaning involved, especially if "kuklos" derived from "Gog" since, after all, Gog was from Circasia.

It was Caesar Augustus who re-invigorated the Mars cult, showing that Mars and Apollo were a depiction of the same bloodline. On the one hand no one seems to know why "Wolves were sacrificed to Apollo at Argos and elsewhere on the Greek peninsula" (see website below), and on the other hand, no one seems to know what Mars referred to, though I think that it's got to be the Mari Parthians who branched out to Verkana ("wolf land"): "...the Greeks and Romans, who likewise assigned Mars the wolf as sacred animal."
(http://www.maverickscience.com/Mars/Apollo/apollo.html)

But there's even more evidence to strengthen both Gog-Rome and Gog-Gorgon connections to the wolf. You may already know that the twin founders of Rome, codewords "Romulus" and "Remus," were depicted suckling a wolf, meaning that the Romans descended from a nation depicted as a wolf. Because the wolf-sucking twins were revealed as Aeneas-line Trojans, the mystery wolf-nation should be sought among Trojan entities, and Gorgons come irresistibly to mind as the first place to check out:

"Old Persian VARKANA ("Wolf's Land"), ancient region located southeast of the Caspian Sea. Its capital was Zadracarta (Astarābād, modern Gorgān), and it formed part of the Median, Achaemenian (559-330 BC), Seleucid, and Parthian (247 B.C.-224 A.D.) empires, either as an independent province or joined with Parthia. In the list of Persian satrapies given by the Greek historian Herodotus, the Paricanians may have been the Hyrcanians."

[Update June 2006 -- Very happy at the moment. An email correspondent found a quote that verifies my linking Romulus/Remus to Verkana. It's a statement (below) written by Virgil, with Dido chewing out Aeneas, the Trojan ancestor of Romulus and Remus. Although Virgil's story is a myth, the statement yet reveals that Virgil viewed the origin of Aeneas peoples in Verkanian territory:

"False as thou art, and more than false, forsworn;
Not sprung from noble blood, nor goddess born:
But hewn from hardened entrails of a rock,--
And rough Hyrcanian tigers gave thee suck."

http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/lit/poetry/Aeneid/chap18.html

Finding Virgil's reason for using "tigers" should prove important. As "Hyrcanian" seems very much the root of "Hercules," while the latter was connected to the Lydian lion, the tiger may very well be the root of the Lydian lion. In this picture, the Romans are found rooted in a Verkanian bloodline that passes through the Lydians, and for this reason I would view Hercules as the Latin side of the Romans (since I view Latin roots in Lydians). However, I am not suggesting that Hercules depicts the Latin side versus the Trojan side, for it's becoming evident that the Latins/Lydians were the very offshoots of Trojans...meaning that Trojans themselves descended from the "Hyrcanian tiger." End Update]

[Update August 2006 -- Having found the root of the Ladon dragon in Syria, specifically in the seven-headed dragon called "Lotan," I've noted that the river cutting across the north side of Tyre is called, to this day, the "Litani" river. This indicates to me that Ladon-branch Trojans had been in Tyre. End Update]

Since Apollo was styled "Lykeios," let's take a look at the Scandinavian god, Loki, the father of Fenrir, also a wolf, and father also of Jormungand, a serpent. One can, by the way, see "Vanir" in "Fenrir," and Loki was the leader of the Vanir gods. The mother of Loki was the giantess, Laufey, which as "Lophey" modifies easily into "lopi" (wolf).
(http://www.deliriumsrealm.com/delirium/mythology/hel.asp).

The Lelegians can also be shown to be wolf Gogi. Lelegians, founders of Gargara of the Troad, had also been on Euboea, a large Greek island near Athens, off the Cyclades, where the Gogi ruled under the Cecrops bloodline. Euboea is important because its royal clan was the family of Zeus prior to "his" migration to Crete, the family comprising the metal-inventing Trojans then called "Abantes." Homer in the Iliad wrote:

"...fierce Abantes held Euboea with its cities, Khalkis, Eretria...Elephenor of the race of Ares was in command of these; he was son of Khalkodon, and chief over all the Abantes. With him they came, fleet of foot and wearing their hair long behind..."

It is well known that the Euboeans were early metal workers and warriors with dreams of conquering the world with their metal. The bloodline of Ares that held Euboea would colonize Italy and finally rule it and the world! It would therefore be descendants of the Euboeans who created Roman myth to be a rehash of Greek myth. (see navigational map of Greece (bookmark for later reference, you'll probably need it).

It is my opinion that one of the chief Euboeans was Hephaistos, who in the Roman world was styled "Vulcan" ("Vulcun" to the Etruscans), the chief metal smith. He (i.e. the peoples he depicted) was not only among the inventors of metal, along with the Apollo peoples of Delos, but as leader of a Greek secret society, he was of the wild Curetes who practiced its occult ceremonies. Among the Curetes were the "Corybantes," said to be the founders of Troy, and I do see that this term is similar to "Abantes," as if the term should be understood as Cor/Hor-Abantes (i.e. the Abantes branch of Curetes).

Because he had 50 sons (merely code), a certain Lycaon (a term rooted in "wolf") was likely of an Hecatonchire (literally "100 hands") bloodline. Recall that one of the three Hecatonchire was styled with the Gog-like term, "Gyges," and that the very same term was used to depict the Lydians from whom stemmed the Romans and Etruscans. I'll start showing here that Rome was founded by certain descendants of Lycaon called "Cauconians/Caucones." First, in the Hercules myth wherein he was leading certain cattle across Europe, he came up against a "Cacus" who lived on one of the hills of Rome called "Aventine," a term that evokes "Abantes"! How many coincidences can we tolerate? Surely this Cacus depicted the Cauconians/Lelegians of Euboea.

One can follow Loki-like terms from Greece to the Vanir. The Danes, who were likewise werewolf-honoring Vanir, stemmed from Illyrium, just up the western coast of Greece toward north Italy. The Lelegians had been on the Ionian island of "Leucas" off that west coast of Greece. Between Leucus and the Illyrian coast there was the Ionian island of Kerkyra (also "Corcyra" but now Corfu), an apparent version of "Gargara" and, if true, named by the Lelegians. I learned that the first Greek settlers of Kerkyra were from Euboea...thus pointing to the Lelegians of Euboea. Therefore, many Italians of that time were Lelegians. Have you noticed that "Lelegian" contains a Loki-like term?
(http://www.corfu-greece.biz/corfu-history.htm)

When speaking with a Greek restaurant owner, with considerable knowledge of Greek myth, he claimed that Curetes had settled Kerkyra. The Ares stronghold of Elis in west Greece also held the Cauconians, and nearby (to their south) the wolf peoples may have named "Laconia," a major Greek region whose Spartan peoples are likewise descended from a dragon belonging to Ares and yet related to Colchis in Caucasia.

There are some arguments made by historians that connect Elis to the Biblical Elishah, son of Javan (Genesis 10:4). One interesting argument is that the purple dye of Tyre originated in sea creatures of that part of Greece (Peloponnesus) where Elis was located, while Ezekiel 27:7 tells that Tyre's purple cloth was from Elishah!! The color of the dragon in Revelation is scarlet/purple perhaps for this reason of depicting the Caucones, for I noted that the Greek word used in Revelation for that color is "kokkinon." The Roman harlot of that same chapter also has the color kokkinon applied to it.

God does use play-on-words at times. Could it be that Revelation 17 is attempting to depict the Caucones as the root of both the anti-Christ and Babylon the Great? It may moreover be that the Caucones were named (by Greeks) after the purple of Tyre, and that they were the same as the Phoenicians since the latter term is rooted in "scarlet/purple."

I found on one website that "Apollodorus has the eponymous Caucon as one of the fifty sons of Lycaon," that latter term being a wolf term i.e. it's in no way a coincidence that Zeus changed Lycaon into a wolf! This puts a new spin on Jesus' words when he said that Satan is a wolf coming but to kill, steal and destroy, for it speaks now of empire-building i.e. the blood of war, the ruin of cities, and the sin of pillaging that empire-building is based upon. Europe under Gogi elements has been just such a sad story.

Lycaon's infant sacrifices and other troublesome activities were the reason for the Greek-myth flood that wiped out mankind (not a literal event and not referring to the Biblical Flood). Lycaon and the Caucones must depict a wolf peoples originating outside of Greece, and prior to Greece's existence, for Greece was founded after that flood. Pausanias calls Zeus "Lycaean Zeus."

Gyges (of Lydia) was deeply fond of the Apollo Oracle, and used it to come to power i.e. the seers who maintain the Oracle, and prescribe the oracles, granted power to Gyges, much like a Pope would urge all Catholics to honor Hitler as being from Providence, if that's what the Pope desired. Now the origin of the Apollo Oracle was in Crete, for Apollo was said to have brought Cretan priests to the main center of the cult, Delphi (in Greece). Now Delphi was previously called "Pythos," and as it was a place of Poseidon worship, might "Pythos" have derived from the same root as "Poseidon"?

Interestingly, Apollo in a certain myth killed the dragon called "Python" when he entered Greece from Hyperborea, meaning that he replaced the rulers in Pythos with his own Hyperborean peoples; hence, "Delphi" must have been named by those Hyperboreans. And I note how "Delphi" is much like the island of Apollo, "Delos."

Certainly "Telephus" now comes to mind as a variation of "Delphi," for he was a son of Hercules, and born in Arcadia, the Cauconian capital. Telephus became ruler of Mysia by the Caicus river. Thus, when Apollo brought Cretans to Pythos to take over the city, those Cretans must have been of the Telephus bloodline, meaning that Telephus was a Cretan peoples, evoking the "Telchines" who were alternatively the Curetes of Crete, the whole bunch of them from the Cecrops bloodline the ancestry of which has been kept concealed by the myth writers. At the website below, we can see that the first rulers of Crete were the founders of Tegea in Arcadia, and in fact these were the descendants of Lycaon, as was Telephus himself (not to re-mention Caucon)
(http://homepage.mac.com/cparada/GML/Crete.html).

Apparently, the first Cretans were Caucones, which is important when viewing Crete as the first capital of Atlantis, for it makes Atlantis a Gogi enterprise. Behold, the three "grandsons" of Lycaon who migrated to Crete first of all were sons of Maera, daughter of Atlas (he depicting the founders of Atlantis). If Rome's founding was indeed a New Atlantis while at the same time founded by a wolf peoples migrating through Greece, then I expect ties between the founding of Rome and Lycaon's bloodline. That is, when we see Romulus ans Remus sucking on the tits of a wolf, that wolf might rightly be viewed as Lycaon.

First off, Telephus and his brother Tarchon became the Etruscans, remember, and this explains the similarities between the Etruscans and Cretans that historians have pointed out. I think the migratory line would be from Crete to proto-Lydia (i.e. Troy region) to Rome...but between Crete and proto-Lydia there was a proto-Etruscan settlement on Lemnos, the island sacred to Hephaistos. As the Lemnos peoples were Saka and Amazons, so it may be that the proto-Etruscans there were one or the other.

Secondly, Phylonome, the granddaughter of Lycaon, mated with Ares to produce the twins Lycastus and Parrhasius, and they as children, evoking Romulus and Remus (founders of Rome), were suckled by a wolf. In keeping with my suspicions that Remus was the one who depicted the Etruscans, I've noted that “Parrhasius” may undress to Par-Rhasian, for it’s known that the Rhaetians (proto-Redones) of north Italy were from the Etruscans. My conclusion is that the deepest Greek roots of both the Etruscans and the Romans can be found in Lycaon, wherefore he should lead backward to Caucasia and even further back to Verkana.

Strabo said that the Dacians, who were Getae, were the "Daüs" (wolves) of Attica (Athens region), and then mentioned that the "Daae" were Scythians from Hyrcania/Verkana.

Now Leucas, the island in western Greece mentioned earlier in relation to Kerkyra, is not to be mistaken for Leucus, the eponym for a peoples on Crete who allied themselves temporarily with Meda, an obvious eponym for Gorgons on Crete. Recall that Pasiphas, daughter of Helios and Perse, and therefore a Gorgon, was Minos' wife. Well, Meda was the wife first of Minos' son, but then also of Leucus. It's possible that this Leucus line of Minoans established the island of Leucas, and from there went on to become various Europeans. This would then explain why another myth writer decided to connect the Minoans to "Europa."

It would appear that the Gorgons of Crete are the white bull that Zeus was portrayed as. This bull is likely a symbol of the dragon beast of Revelation 17, since that bull carried Europa away on his back, even as the dragon of Revelation 17 carries Babylon the Great on his back. That is, God may have so depicted the dragon on the harlot specifically to tie them to Zeus and Europa. Is it a further coincidence that while the Greek myth had Zeus rape Europa, so the Revelation account has the dragon raping Babylon? It would appear from this argument that the dragon of Revelation 17 will stem from the Gorgons of Crete, though not from the branch that became the Romans, but from the branch that became the Russians (for I interpret that dragon of Revelation as end-time Gog). It was never the purpose of this book (at the time of starting it) to expose that Russians and Romans were the same bloodline, for I had never even dreamt that this connection could be the reality, yet that is exactly the conclusion insisted by the research that is the meat of this book. Babylon the Great, shown sitting on the seven hills of Rome, and whom is connected to Roman emperors in that she is said to rule over all the kings of the earth, depicted not the Romans alone, but the root of the Romans going back even previous to the Minoans of Crete, even previous to the Trojans, to the very roots of the Rus.

Helios and Perse had yet another daughter in the goddess "Aegea," who surely depicted the Aegean-sea empire of Minos (i.e. Atlantis). Minos had previously rid the Aegean sea of Carian pirates and had thereby become the undisputed ruler of all it's islands. But a certain Theseus of the Cecrops line became the ruler of Atlantis by weakening the forces of Minos. It just can't be a coincidence that the father of Theseus was "Aegeus."

It is said in some myth versions that Poseidon himself snuck into the room wherein Aegeus and this daughter (Aethra) were supposed to be mating (to produce Theseus), and that he, not Aegeus, mated with the woman so that Theseus turned out to be a son of Poseidon. But this is double-speak where both scenarios are true, on the one hand to provide secret-society initiates with a secret illustration revealing Aegeus and Theseus as the rulers of Atlantis, for Poseidon was father of Atlantis. The other side of the coin is that Aegeus and Theseus were of the Poseidon bloodline, meaning that their Cecrops bloodline was likewise. There is a reason that the ancestry of Cecrops is not given in myth, aside from depicting him as a snake, and this connection to Atlantis may be why.

Though the ruler of Athens, Aegeus had himself been subject to taxation enforced by Minos, meaning simply that Minos ruled over the Cecrops line for a time (Minos was himself partly from the Cecrops line because that line was the white bull that produced the Minoans). In another myth involving Theseus, a white bull mates with Minos' wife, Pasiphas, to produce the Minotaur. Theseus killing the Minotaur is then the story of his breaking the power of Minos.

As well as giving birth to Aegeus, Pandion (of Cecrops) gave birth to Lycus, who, like Theseus, was also in Crete. But Lycus was assigned the island of Euboea as his portion to rule, which is important because he, the symbol of Lycia, was also a wolf peoples. For Lycia (see Lydia-Lycia Map) also claimed ownership of Apollo, the wolf god. It was in Lycia that the goddess Lada was worshiped, and it is thought that Leto, Apollo's mother, was named after Lada. [I feel quite certain that Lada/Leto will prove to be the Ladon/Lotan dragon.]

In Russian myth, Lada was the wife of Dazhbog, who was a depiction of Helios and yet was portrayed with a canine head. This is fine, for Helios was in truth the wolf god of Verkana, explaining why Apollo is viewed as a wolf god but also as the Helios sun god, since Apollo is a peoples stemming from Verkana. In Lithuanian myth, Lada is the wife of Perkunas, that sun god being likewise a depiction of Verkana. I note that while Dazhbog is said to mean "sun god," it could be viewed as "dog god" since "daus" means "wolf."

Leto and Lada of Greek myth seem synonymous with Ledo and Lada of Slav-Rus myth, where in the latter the two are a married couple and no doubt (in my mind) depictions of Lydia and Lycia. Therefore, Lydia and Lycia were two wolf-peoples related closely to the sun-god cult in Verkana.

As the king of Mysia, Lycus had "Dascylus" as a father -- who had been the father of king Gyges as well! Therefore, Lycus also (along with Lydia) brought forth the Etruscans since Dascylus was, in my strong but personal/lonely opinion, the eponym of Tuscany (land of the Etruscans in Italy). I'd bet my best one-eyed sunglasses that the Lycians included the Cyclopes and the Gigantes of Crete, for a website tells that "Stories of the Cyclopes range from Thrace to Crete to Lycia" (http://www.geocities.com/medea19777/cyclopes.html).

Another means of tying the Hyperboreans to the Lydians, and the Lydians to the Romans, is in the Roman cult of "Ludi Apollinares." And behold, it was Caesar Augustus who fired up this Apollo cult, meaning that he knew he was of the Apollo bloodline. Britannica says that, "As a young man, Augustus had chosen Apollo as his own god." Augustus eventually lifted the Apollo cult to equal status with Jupiter i.e. Zeus. And "In 17 B.C., [Augustus] celebrated the Ludi Saeculares..."

"Latona" was the Roman version of Leto i.e. Lydia. "Latona" certainly looks like the origin of the Latins, and this goes a long way in proving that the Latins were Lydian cousins of the Etruscans. Greek myth makes Latinus the descendant of Tros, co-founder of Troy (i.e. the Lydians and Latins are in this way revealed once again as Trojan descendants). But don't miss this point, that if the Lydians were Gogi, ditto for the Romans.

Because Britannica says that Apollos' "elevation to such great prominence goes hand in hand with Augustus' determination to Hellenize the age," we see that the first Roman emperor was at least a political extension of Alexander the Great (who fervently promoted Hellenization). I think there is a blood connection between the two rulers. It may be that the anti-Christ will be related by blood to the Seleucids, a Greek faction extending from Alexander, that likewise sought to Hellenize the world. The Seleucids are depicted in Daniel 11 as runners-up to the anti-Christ. But no one to my knowledge has been able to trace the Seleucid bloodline to a powerhouse of the modern day. It wouldn't surprise me if both end-time Roman leaders (i.e. Rosicrucian Illuminatists) and end-time Gog descend from the Seleucids.

Is the revived Roman empire today ruled by secret societies who have striven to make it a democracy? No surprise, since Theseus (of Cecrops) "is said to have organized [Athens] in three classes: noblemen, farmers and craftsmen and was honored as the father of democracy...[he gathered] all of Attica under one single government..." (http://plato-dialogues.org/tools/loc/athens.htm). The three classes evoke the old three degrees of Freemasonry. The first class of Nobleman is conspicuous because we are told that "Aryan" means "noble." Immediately I am led to think that no one could achieve Nobleman class unless he could prove pure Aryan blood in his veins. This reminds me of a myth in which king Minos (from Poseidon and Zeus) demanded that Theseus prove his Poseidon bloodline.

The second class is also conspicuous because the Greek word for "farmer" is "georgos," as though "Gorgon" may have been secretly insinuated...but understood in that "light" only by the initiated. A Gorgon was not a pure Aryan.

And the third degree evokes the stone masons and metal workers, such as Hephaistos depicted as well as the builders of the so-called "Cyclopean" stone walls...probably built by the Cyclopean peoples.
