Dionysus is an important god in Greek mythology but he is missing from
the Whorl pantheon. I argue that the name "inhume" is associated with
the Dionysus.

Also, inhumi are associated with the vines on Blue somehow. And Dionysus
is the god of the vine.
Of course, _I_ argue that Quetzal carries the soul of Tussah and Tussah
is cloned from Typhon.
Incidentally, Thetis is my favorite Greek god. She's the Godfather of
Greek mythology. She has a way of offering aid to powerful figures at
crucial moments. And then, at some point, she always seeks payment for
the favor.

FWIW I posit that Silk is the Fish or Frog (probably Fish). And the only
way I can justify the implied associations between Silk and Pas is that
Fish was a clone of Typhon. I want Horn to be a clone of Typhon as well.
But I'm no longer sure I can argue that from the text.
