I'm glad the conversation in this thread has drifted back to its subject and the "God of Wine" that Horn mentions in
connection to The Outsider. What would a goat hand be like, if a goat had a hand?
 
Roy didn't we have a discussion regarding ungulates and the names Horn, Hoof, Hide etc.?
 
Hm..on the other hand....

Severian has a dream in which Thecla has a remembrance of her father. In the dream there is taurean figure I'd always
wondered about.
