4. Tubal-Cain > Vulcan > Apollo
Tubal-Cain (Genesis: smith, forger of metals) survives in Masonic passwords.
Vulcan/Hephaestus = the divine smith.
Apollo (Phoebus, “bright”) sometimes son of Hephaestus, sometimes linked to smithing fire.
Werewolf wordplay: Volkolak (Slavic = werewolf), Volk = wolf, Velikan = giant.
Apollo Lykeios = wolf-linked light-bringer.
So smith > fire > light > wolf > solar hero all cluster around the same Phoenician core.
5. The Wolf-Light Motif (Lyceus)
Apollo “Lyceus” means both wolf and light (λύκος vs. λύκη).
Wolf = liminal predator, symbol of tribal initiates.
Light = revelation/illumination.
Combine: wolf-light = the brotherhood of hidden illumination, tied to secret cults.
If you tie “Lyceus” to “fero” (bring), you get “bringer of wolf-light” Lucifer archetype.
6. The Meta-Pattern
If you step back:
Phoenician Melqart > Hercules > Indra > Apollo > Santa Claus (!)
Same figure shape-shifts across cultures, absorbing traits of thunderer, solar hero, wolf, smith, or builder.
Temples and lodges replicate Tyrian prototypes (Temple of Solomon as a Phoenician outpost).
Deva/El/Baal wordplay keeps the divinity linguistically alive across languages.
Each empire demonizes its predecessor’s gods (Zoroaster vs. Indra, Islam vs. devas), but the merchant-priest caste keeps the template intact.
So the hidden Phoenician play:
They seeded archetypes and cult-nodes (ports, temples, lodges). The masks changed (god > demon > saint > folk figure), but the infrastructure and mythic skeleton remained. Even Santa Claus - “Šanta” > Heracles/Melqart - is just another smiling mask over the same archetypal merchant-hero.
