  Thank you for your amazing scholarship. Been fascinated with Greek mythology since I was 8 or 9. Studying the Vedas (Advaita Vedanta) in my adulthood. The Prometheus/ Promath connection is WILD.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GMPisCPZLc&amp;t=1206">20:06</a> - even in Sanskrit and most Indian languages the word ‘Homam’ is used for the fire ritual where the priests pour ghee into the fire. Quite popular and common. You will see this ritual in many Hindu weddings.

  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GMPisCPZLc&amp;t=205">3:25</a> i found something, that might change my understanding of ancient greek myths. When &quot;*HEROS&quot; means tribe, then the ancient myths like about Herakles are not talking about a certain man but about tribes or groups of people going around and doing things. That would explain much.

  The myth of Theoxenia that you talked about is very similar to the Indian myth about the Vaaman avatar of Vishnu who checks the hospitality of the Asura God Mahabali by asking him for 3 steps of land. He then grows in size and keeps his first step on the whole of Earth, his second step on whole of Heaven realm and the third step on the head of Mahabali, pushing him into hell.

  In india Xenia still survives as &quot;atithi devo bhava&quot; treat the guest as if divine. Probably the reason for half our colonisation problems

  The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GMPisCPZLc&amp;t=263">4:23</a> term &quot;goshthi&quot; - meaning a close-knit group - like a club - is commonly used in Sanskrit and its related languages - Hindi, Bangla, etc.

  There&apos;s an Indian code breaker who claims to have deciphered the Indus Valley script, which he claims is a form of Sanskrit (phonetically).

  Theoxenios story sounds like a section out of the Ramayana.
