[Hail Ellis (Elis)...protector of her *specific* web.]

Lolan Ah Sine...totally on to something...

Hail Ellis (Elis)...protector of her *specific* web.
"The peaceful existence which Elis led thereafter, its neutrality in the quarrels of the other Greek states, the "truce" and the designation of the country as sacred ground, were the cause of her prosperity and good laws"
"The whole country [of Elis] is full of temples of Artemis"

So of course....

"She took the paper, turned it upside down and announced with some excitement, "It is exactly what I wanted!" I wasn't about to attempt to correct her."
"She appeared to be wielding the four arrow-headed bolts. The, "I Am", sigil rested where the head would have been."

"Mistress maiden, ruler of the stormy mountains"
""O [Artemis] queen of the groves (regina nemorum), thou who in solitude lovest thy mountain-haunts, and who upon the solitary mountains art alone held holy."
(Goddess of) "The shadowy hills and windy peaks"

A goddess of liminal places.....

"But the goddess with a bold heart turns every way destroying the race of wild beasts: and when she is satisfied and has cheered her heart, then the huntress (theroskopos) who delights in arrows (iokheaira) slackens her supple bow.

A huntress who delights in ARROWS...
Arrows facing every way (the 4 cardinal/all directions?) destroying any wild beasts threatening the peace and neutrality of her sacred ground/web.

"In the face of death, (Art/Elis/Ellis's) duty indeed, her raison d'être—is to recall absent loved ones, console anxieties, evoke and reconcile conflicting emotions, surmount isolation, and facilitate the expression of the unutterable"

ARTemis (?!)

Good and evil all meet/met in the domain/district of Ellis/Elis for "the games" (of capital "A" Art?).
She (the huntress) is/was there to facilitate the proceedings....of "evoking and reconciling conflicting emotions", the "expressing of the unutterable", "surmounting isolation".

If you act out like a wild beast, trying to run rampant in her "place", you will become the focus of her hunt.
This "place" is for everyone who wants to "come in peace" and participate in the "games".


Sounds like the movie here is playing out just fine. It's hitting all the right notes LOL.
The transmission is being received?

[disregard for tradition]

Ringtail:

Evolution, life, growth, divine female, disregard for tradition, rebellion, creation, novelty.

"Thus, death's claim to rule even Arcadia is challenged by art (symbolized by the beautifully dressed maiden), who must insist that she was discovered in Arcadia too, and that she is the legitimate ruler everywhere, whilst death only usurps its power. In the face of death, art's duty—indeed, her raison d'être—is to recall absent loved ones, console anxieties, evoke and reconcile conflicting emotions, surmount isolation, and facilitate the expression of the unutterable."

Note...

"symbolized by the beautifully dressed maiden" - Beauty (Life in it's highest form)

"facilitate the expression of the unutterable" - Variety (Creation, Novelty. Tradition does not enter into it. Say what the others refuse to speak. Nothing more rebellious!)

"evoke *and* reconcile conflicting emotions" - Conflict (Evolution right here. Conflicting feelings being resolved and put to rest. Divide and Conquer not working anymore. Growth")




See my big post for how Arcadia is connected to the region of Elis physically IRL.

[Olympian goddess]

Versling:

Upside down, the shape of a woman emerged where the two bolts intersected. She appeared to be wielding the four arrow-headed bolts.

From my web travels on the Elis topic:

http://www.theoi.com/Olympios/ArtemisGoddess.html
http://www.theoi.com/Cult/ArtemisCult2.html
"ARTEMIS was the Olympian goddess of hunting and wild animals, and the protectress of women and girls."

"CULT IN ELIS (SOUTHERN GREECE) Strabo, Geography 8. 3. 12 (trans. Jones) (Greek geographer C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) :
"The whole country [of Elis] is full of temples of Artemis, Aphrodite, and the Nymphai, being situated in sacred precincts that are generally full of flowers because of the abundance of water.


Her properties?

"Aeschylus, Fragment 188 (from Orion, Etymologicum 26. 5) (trans. Weir Smyth) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) :
"Mistress maiden (despoina nymphê) [i.e. Artemis], ruler of the stormy mountains."

"Seneca, Hercules Furens 406 ff (trans. Miller) (Roman tragedy C1st A.D.) :
"O [Artemis] queen of the groves (regina nemorum), thou who in solitude lovest thy mountain-haunts, and who upon the solitary mountains art alone held holy."

"Homeric Hymn 27 to Artemis (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C7th to 4th B.C.) :
"Over the shadowy hills and windy peaks she [Artemis] draws her golden bow, rejoicing in the chase, and sends out grievous shafts. The tops of the high mountains tremble and the tangled wood echoes awesomely with the outcry of beasts: earth quakes and the sea also where fishes shoal. But the goddess with a bold heart turns every way destroying the race of wild beasts: and when she is satisfied and has cheered her heart, then the huntress (theroskopos) who delights in arrows (iokheaira) slackens her supple bow."

The huntress who delights in ARROWS.



Among other things:
"Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 1. 225 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) :
"The Nymphai (nymphs or maiden-girls) were about to hold their dances - it was the custom of all those who haunt the beautiful headland to sing the praise of Artemis by night."

"Suidas s.v. Lysizonos gune :
"Virgins about to have sex dedicated their virginal lingerie to Artemis."

Heh.

AC/DC did say it best. "For those about to rock, we salute you!"

[Valis]

Data dump for those of long attention span.
tl:dr is for posers.

I came across some info after coming across DKMU itself.
During my searches just going with the "flow" I found some interesting linkages.

Came across Elis, Greece while doing simple searches for the "Ellis" sigil:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elis
http://odysseus.culture.gr/h/3/eh351.jsp?obj_id=2400
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympia,_Greece
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elis_(regional_unit)

Started getting vibes....

Then hit this page:

"Looking at the Linking sigil, you
can see where the right side of it forms an E. The L, I, and S, should
all be quite obvious in it"

So yeah. Elis not Ellis?

Whats the deal with ancient Elis? Pretty badass history.

"In classical antiquity, Elis was an independent state, centred on the town Elis and included the sanctuary at Olympia, where the Ancient Olympic Games were held between 776 BC and 394 AD."
"The first Olympic festival was organized in Elean land, Olympia, Greece by the authorities of Elis in the 8th century BC, with tradition dating the first games at 776 BC."

"The local form of the name was Valis, or Valeia, and its meaning, in all probability, "the lowland" (compare with the word "valley")."
Valis? now we got some Phillip Dick going on lol.

"Nowadays Elis is a small village of 150 citizens, located 14 km NE of Amaliada, built over the ruins of the ancient town. It has a museum that contains treasures, discovered in various excavations. It also has one of the most well-preserved ancient theaters in Greece."

Now dig this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Olympic_Games

"The Olympic games were held to be one of the two central rituals in Ancient Greece, the other being the much older religious festival, the Eleusinian Mysteries. The games started in Olympia, Greece, in a sanctuary site for the Greek deities near the towns of Elis and Pisa (both in Elis on the peninsula of Peloponnesos). The first games began as an annual foot race of young women in competition for the position of the priestess for the goddess, Hera, and a second race was instituted for a consort for the priestess who would participate in the religious traditions at the temple.

The first ever "gold medal" winner was from Elis:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroebus_of_Elis

"Coroebus of Elis, commonly spelled Koroibos (Greek: Κόροιβος Ἠλεῖος) was a humble Greek cook,^[1] baker^[2] and athlete from Elis, who won the stadion race in the first recorded Ancient Olympic Games in 776 BC."
"The stadion race of the Greeks seem to have been accurately recorded. The prize he received was an olive branch, though the honor of winning was far more prestigious than the actual prize."


Elis was a "neutral" meeting place. It had no government buildings, only temples to many gods. It was sacred ground:

"The traveler Pausanias (2nd century P.C.), refered to the capital of Ilia, by describing gymnasiums, lodges, temples and sanctums, but no public buildings.They were decorated by a number of statues and sculptures made by famous artists of ancient times. Among others there were situated the temple of Ourania Aphrodite and its golden ivory statue made by Fidias, as well as the ground shrine of Pandimou Aphrodite, where there is its well-known bronze statue, made by Scopas, the temple and the statue of Apollo Acesious, the temple of the Graces, with their edge-stones statues, the temple of Silinous and the complexion of the god with Methi."
"The peaceful existence which Elis led thereafter, its neutrality in the quarrels of the other Greek states, the "truce" and the designation of the country as sacred ground, were the cause of her prosperity and good laws"

"Strabo, Geography 8. 3. 12 (trans. Jones) (Greek geographer C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) :
"The whole country [of Elis] is full of temples of Artemis, Aphrodite, and the Nymphai, being situated in sacred precincts that are generally full of flowers because of the abundance of water."


Also, the Alfeios river flows from Arcadia to Elis:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfeios

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et_in_Arcadia_ego
"The most important difference between the two versions is that in the latter version, one of the two shepherds recognizes the shadow of his companion on the tomb and circumscribes the silhouette with his finger. According to an ancient tradition (see Pliny the Elder, nat. Hist. XXXV 5, 15), this is the moment in which the art of painting is first discovered. Thus, the shepherd's shadow is the first image in art history. But the shadow on the tomb is also a symbol of death (in the first version symbolized by a skull on the top of the tomb). The meaning of this highly intricate composition seems to be that, from prehistory onward, the discovery of art has been the creative response of humankind to the shocking fact of mortality. Thus, death's claim to rule even Arcadia is challenged by art (symbolized by the beautifully dressed maiden), who must insist that she was discovered in Arcadia too, and that she is the legitimate ruler everywhere, whilst death only usurps its power. In the face of death, art's duty—indeed, her raison d'être—is to recall absent loved ones, console anxieties, evoke and reconcile conflicting emotions, surmount isolation, and facilitate the expression of the unutterable."

Hell yeah.

Elis is the river's final destination.


So yeah....just some thoughts for everybody. This whole business is packed with meaning.


Somebody needs to pay a visit to the ancient Elis amphitheatre:
