explication |
|
Mos^eh |
transformer |
His snake (nah.as^ = ‘copper’, scil. winding) swallowed the other snake : this is the transformation of frequency of the alternating current. |
|
>ahro^n |
electrical outlet |
He vanished on a mountain. |
|
YHWH |
DC transmitter (for Morse code) |
Broadcasteth messages. |
|
mal>ak |
relay |
Angelloi relay messages. |
Hellenic
|
deity |
component |
explication |
|
Zeus |
electromagnet |
The "thunderbolt" of electricity held by him is depicted as a coil, so it may be the coil surrounding, and activated by, an electromagnet in a generator. |
|
Hera |
battery-cell |
Producing "milk" = the "juice" of direct current. |
|
Areias |
capacitor |
Was confined within a jar (= Leyden jar). |
|
sons of Aloios |
maggie (magnetic detector) |
The confiners of Areias, they dwelt in land of the Magnetes. |
|
Hermes |
radio transmitter |
Holdeth a kerukeion (caduceus) rod (=antenna), wound about with serpents (= inductors). |
|
Artemis |
cat’s whisker |
Her "silver bow" = argentiferous galena. |
|
Argos Panoptes |
perikon detector |
Became peacock (= peacock ore, bornite). |
|
Puthon |
cohaerer |
Required being slain (=powdered carbon being knocked loose). |
|
Haides |
chassis (ground) |
Underground realm. |
|
Poseidon |
vacuum tube |
Holdeth trident (= triode, whose grid is middle tine of trident, associated with net). |
|
Apollon |
tuner (variable capacitor) |

explication |
|
Freyja |
cat’s whisker |
The cats pulling the chariot of Freyja. |
|
O`d |
signal detector |
Freyja’s husband, his name is cognate with that of Otos the son of Aloios. (Otos shot at Artemis.) The "tears of gold" shed for O`d may refer to oil of vitriol, which is praepared by heating "fool’s gold", which is in turn a semiconducting mineral used as a signal detector. |
Instructions on how to construct electronics equipment may have been imparted in antiquity via dreams and/or spirit-possession. Those denizens of the spirit-worlds who imparted the information may be using electronic means of mutual intercommunication within their own worlds.

The fact that the commonest sort of communications of humans with spirits during waking experiences is via the knocking sounds of poltergeists, which resemble the telegraphy by wire and the unmodulated radio signals, would explain why the materials referred to in myths are commonly those composing the early (before 1916) radio-signal detection-devices.
