12. • Energiemandala: Symbolik von Leben und Tod, männlich und weiblich

Schlangen gebildet werden) als Symbol der Vereinigung von männlichem und weiblichem Prinzip. Rechts und links das Zeichen der Doppelaxt, das

13. Indien: Shivas Tanz auf dem Dämon
Shiva, einer der drei Hauptgottheiten des Hinduismus, gilt als Zerstörer und Erneuerer der Natur. In
seinem wirbelnden kosmischen Tanz bewegt er die Welt. Er tanzt ihn auf dem Rücken des Dämons der
Vergesslichkeit und Unachtsamkeit. Umgeben ist er von einem Kranz aus Flammen und Licht.

14. Comparative Mythology
• The permanent trapping of Kalevide by his hand being caught in the
gates of Pőrgu is similar to the Sumerian mythic theme of the
trapping of Enkidu into the netherworld by his hand being caught in
the door of Huwawa (Gilgames^, Tablet 7).
• The amputation of the legs of Kalevide by a magical sword is similar
to the Ĥurrian mythic theme of the amputation of the feet of Ulli-
kummi (Ullikummi) by a supernatural knife. According to Eustathios
(ad Hor.), the Telkhin-es were likewise beings without feet.
• Kalevipoeg's quick temper and tendency to kill people in arguments
at parties is echoed in many legendary heroes throughout Europe,
including Ireland's Cúchulainn and Scotland's Gawayne (who later
became fused with the Welsh Gwalchmei to become on of the
knights in Arthurian legends, Gawain).[citation needed]

15. Greek Mythology - Telkhines
• THE TELKHINES (or Telchines) were four mysterious magician-smiths
and sea daimones native to the islands of Keos and Rhodes. They
invented the art of metal-working and were said to have crafted the
sickle Kronos used to castrate his father Ouranos and later a magical
trident for Poseidon which the god used to lever mountains into the
sea and form the islands. Their malignant use of magic later
angered Zeus, who cast them beneath the sea or into the very
depths of Tartaros. These strange Sea Daimoneswere sometimes
described with the heads of dogs and fish-flippers for hands.
• The Telkhines play a variety of roles in myth, sometimes they
appear almost identical to the Hekatonkheires (Storm-Gods) and
Elder Kyklopes (Lightning-Thunder metalworkers), at other times
they take on the role of Kouretes and Daktyloi, and later as those
Rhodian sons of Poseidon known as the Daimones Proseoous. The
names of the two of the three, Damnameneus and Skelmis, are
those given to Daktyloi by Hesiod.

16. Ullikumi
• In Hurrian mythology,[1] Ullikummi is a giant stone monster, son of Kumarbi and
the sea god's daughter. The narrative of Ullikummi is one episode, the best
preserved and most complete,[2] in an epic cycle of related "songs" about the god
Kumarbi, who aimed to replace the weather god Teshub and destroy the city of
Kummiya; to this end Kumarbi fathered upon a rock cliff a genderless, deaf, blind,
yet sentient pillar of volcanic rock, Ullikummi, which he hid in the netherworld and
placed on the shoulder of Upelluri. Upelluri, absorbed in his meditations, did not
feel Ullikummi on his shoulder. Ullikummi grew quickly until he reached the
heavens. Teshub thundered and rained on Ullikummi, but it did not harm him.
Teshub fled and abdicated the throne. Teshub asked Ea for help. Ea visited Upelluri
and cut off the feet of Ullikummi, toppling him.
• The "song of Ullikummi" was recognized from its first rediscovery as a predecessor
of Greek myths in Hesiod. Parallels to the Greek myth of Typhoes, the ancient
antagonist of the thunder-god Zeus, have been elucidated by Walter Burkert,
Oriental and Greek Mythology, pp 19-24, and Caucasian parallels in his "Von
Ullikummi zum Kaukasus: Die Felsgeburt des Unholds", Würzburger Jahrbücher N.
F., 5 (1979) pp 253-61.
