#Antonius Anthus

Kannibalisch wohl

von Vincent Klink Kein schlechter Tag dieser erste März 1991. Wenige Tage zuvor war eine Vespa in meinen Besitz gelangt, und dieses Vehikel musste ausprobiert werden. Also los auf große Fahrt. War es der Weg, meine romantischen Anwandlungen oder meine Sehnsucht nach dem alten Frankreich? Jedenfalls war mir nach französischen Kalorien, die im Elsass im Doppelpack aufgetischt werden.

Papa G’s Connection to Erodius

I believe Papa G has some connection to the big bad Erodius. There’s not a lot of evidence but there is some things that had me think:

* We all know he’s very old. We saw from a picture of Flo when she was younger with him in the picture, identical to how he looks in present.That alone already says a lot that he may not be from earth.

* He’s not at all fazed of the extraterrestrial life around him such as the rings or Chuck. He’s clearly seen this sorta stuff before.

* He’s had a long history with the government, Biker in Black especially. Biker in Black claims quite a lot. What does Biker in Black work on? Extraterrestrial research.

* One of the only few references for the name Erodius came from Greek Mythology in the Antonius Liberalis, Metamorphoses, 7. The story goes:

“     There was a man named Autonous. Autonous acquired many herds of horses which were pastured by his wife Hippodamia and their children. Now because he neglected husbandry, no crops were produced by the extensive lands of Autonous which bore only rushes and thistles. For this reason he named his children after such plants: Acanthus, Schoeneus and Acanthis, and his oldest son Erodius, because his lands had been eroded.Erodius was extremely fond of these herds of horses which he pastured in the meadows. When Anthus, son of Autonous, drove the mares out of the meadows, keeping them out from their pastures, they were infuriated and set upon Anthus. They began to devour him as he uttered many a cry to the gods to save him. Now his father, panic-stricken through distress, faltered — as did the servant of the youth — and failed to drive off the mares. The mother went on battling with the mares, but because of weakness of body was unable to do anything to avert the slaughter.While these people were bewailing Anthus who was hardly dead, Zeus and Apollo felt pity for them and turned them all into birds. Autonous was made a quail because, though father of Anthus, he had quailed at driving off the horses. The mother was turned into a lark with a crested head because she had headed for the mares to fight for her son against them. They turned Anthus himself, as well as Erudius, Schoeneur, Acanthus and Acanthyllis into birds called by the same names as they had before they were metamorphosed. They turned the servant who had attended Anthus into a heron [erōdios] — the same as happened to Erodius the brother of the lad, Anthus — but not the same sort of heron. For it is distinguishably smaller than the dark variety. Now this heron does not associate with the anthus bird just as the anthus bird does not associate with horses, because Anthus had suffered so much from horses. To this day when it hears a horse neigh, this bird flies away while imitating its cries.”

In the story Erodius along with his family were turned into birds. And something  I noticed of Papa G’s design is a particular feather he has on his hat.

* Kid Cosmic plays on ALOT of superhero and sci-if tropes. You know a popular trope? The hero being related to the villain. Most famous in Star Wars. One of the best known classics for science fiction.

I’m really excited for S2 and to see if my theory is actually right.
