Sparta΄s Menelaus al Symptoms (www.tribwatch.com.ladon)

Having seen some Stewart-importance in the Campbell surname, I found that its windmill-like Coat of Arms has a green and gold version in the Crotone-surname Coat, wherefore I was led to a region in southern Italy having the name of the latter, and found that this was right down my Muse alley:

"When Pythagoras arrived at Croton, his first advice to the Crotoniates was to build a shrine of the Muses at the center of the city, to promote civic harmony and learning." Croton was in Calabria, on the Tarento gulf, but as I suspect Brandenburg roots in Apulia/Puglia, it's interesting that Milo of Croton shows signs of stemming from there.

Apulia was also on the Tarento gulf, and as I identify it with mythical Pollux (and possibly Apollo too), see how Milo of Croton is equated with mythical Pollux: "Sybaris was the rival of Croton until 510 BC, when Croton sent an army of one hundred thousand men, commanded by the boxer Milo, against Sybaris and destroyed it".

Pollux is described in myth as a boxer/pugilist. Such clues are routine for revealing bloodlines to the initiated. Note the date in the following quote from a different article, exactly the same as in the quote above, meaning that the following quote refers to the crushing blow dealt by Milo de Croton:

"Herodotus tells us that, after the destruction of Sybaris in 510 BCE, the inhabitants who survived the catastrophe took refuge in Laus and Scidrus." The article goes on to reveal the reason that Sybaris retreated to Laus, for the founders of Laus were from Sybaris: "[Laus] was a Greek city, and a colony of Sybaris..."

The founders of Sybaris were specifically from the Sybaris fountain at Boura/Bura, within eyeshot of Helike, and so note that "[Boura] is said to have derived its name from a daughter of Ion and Helice." This is proof-positive that the Helike region derives from Helicon...so that indeed Sybaris and Laus were from Muses. This is a necessary point to make, for the Muse goddess, Helike/Helice, was the goddess of the river Helicon, located not at the city of Helike, but at Helicon/Parnassus, in Boiotia (see location of Boiotia). The Muses were found at Helicon: "Helicon formed part of the border between ancient Boeotia and Phocis. In Greek legend it was the abode of the Muses." But to support a Helike-Helicon connection further, the temple of "Helikonian Poseidon" was at Helike.

The existence of the Cutha in Sybaris is important for supporting my Cutha-Goth link. I had traced the Thurii of Sybaris, who came to fill the vacuum left by the destruction of Sybaris, to mythical Thorri of Gotland (major home of the Goths), you see, but there were also the Goths of northern Italy who could prove to be from the same Cutha of Sybaris, and it is they, of northern Italy, whom I suspect brought the holy-grail cult to the Septimanian theater. More on this in a coming chapter .

The Wikipedia article on "Boura" has given me an excellent clue for finding the origin of Calabria/Bruttium...at Boura! I had missed this on the first couple of readings of the article. The find is monumental:

"The ruins of Boura have been discovered nearly midway between the rivers of Bokhusia (Cerynites), and of Kalavryta (Buraicus)" (brackets not mine).
Another war against the Muses of Italy, as per the quote below, and in this case we can see that Lucanians are to be distinguished from the Sybarite inhabitants of Laus: "The Greeks were defeated with great slaughter, and it is probable that Laus itself fell into the hands of the Lucanians (Strab. vi. p. 253.). From this time we hear no more of the city [of Laus]..." Which way did the Laus dragon slither away? Surely, into Calabria behind them, for the Lucanian assault was from the north, while Calabria was also Bruttium, the nation to which Laus belonged (see location of Calabria). Apparently, to trace Laus forward to the "Laus Dio" written on the Washington Monument, one must follow the dragon tracks to, and through, the Bret peoples depicted by Arthur. To support this idea further, the article above continues to say: "According to Strabo there was, near the [Laus] river and city, a temple or Heroum of a hero named Dracon." In other words, these in their early years were the western Atlanteans who conquered Erethlyn, as per Hercules conquering Erytheia.

The article has both Sybaris and Crotona contributing majorly to the foundations of Metapontum, which gives me more reason to suspect that all three contributed to the Arthurian culrunning!
