“In Indo-Iranian texts there are references to a mythical tree that drips the immortal fluid Soma/Haoma, but it is not pictured as a mighty cosmic tree uniting upper and lower worlds; in the Veda it is located in the third heaven, in the Avesta it stands in the fabulous but terrestrial lake Vourukaśa from which all rivers flow. According to a later Pahlavi source an evil lizard lurks beneath it, trying to get at the Haoma. There is perhaps an analogue to this in the Hesperides’ tree which grows golden apples,an guardian serpent at its base, and is located close to Atlas who supports the sky.”

“See that little red dot up there? That’s Ma’adim." Ištar followed his gaze. "All the damage we caused with our callousness—the air pollution, the ground pollution, and the water pollution. We were so arrogant. How we treated our planet. Never thinking about the future. It was supposed to fix everything. You know that device that killed our planet? I helped design the energy lattice," Enki whispered. "To fix our planet." Ištar frowned. "The Planet-Killer?" Enki nodded, eyes never leaving the sky. "We called it the Tablet of Destinies. Poetic, maybe. It was a terraforming system—climate regulation, tectonic stability, atmospheric tuning. Designed to bring life." "So what went wrong?" "Kingu,”

“The image of a man deliberately constraining his freedom in order to achieve a greater goal resonates powerfully through the ages. We may not face singing sirens on a remote isle, but every person harbors their own sirens—alluring distractions and destructive temptations. Like Odysseus, we are strapped to a journey, and along the way we will inevitably hear those calls.”
