The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

            heroic  offspring,  including  Athena,  Apollo  and
            Artemis, Hermes, Persephone, Dionysus, Perseus,
            Heracles, Helen of Troy, Minos, and the Muses (by
            Mnemosyne);  by  Hera,  he  is  usually  said  to  have
            fathered Ares, Hebe and Hephaestus.
                    Clearly then, all these gods and demigods;
            those produced by sexual intercourse with a god
            and a human woman, were sexual gods inasmuch
            as  families  and  offspring  making  up  their
            Polytheism - and all of them - lustful.
                    This  now  brings  us  to  a  very  interesting
            connection between the wicked demon Asmodeus
            in  Tobit  and  Shiva  in  the  Hindu  Pantheon  that
            reflects   that   of   the   polytheistic   Greeks,
            Babylonians,  and  the  Zoroastrian  priests  and  so
            we  now  approach  that  through  the  Hindu  god,
            Indra.
                    Indra  appears  as  the  names  of  an  arch-

            epithet  Verethragna  appears  as  a  god  of  victory.
            Indra  is  called  Śakra  in  the  Vedas  and  in
            Buddhism  Pali:  Sakka.  In  Burmese,  he  is  ðadʑá
            mɪ ɴ;  in  Thai  as  พระอินทร์  Phra  In,  in  Malay  as

            Indera,  in  Tamil  as  Intiran,  in  Chinese  as  帝释天
            Dìshìtiān, and in Japanese as 帝釈天 Taishakuten.
                    In post-Vedic texts, Indra has more human
            characteristics  and  vices  than  any  other  Vedic
            deity does. Modern Hindus, also tend to see Indra
            as  a  minor  deity  in  comparison  to  others  in  the
