the dream sequences equate Mamelta/Kypris/Mother and conflate Hy and Kypris (explicated through possession) as well.  The blue eyes of Mamelta (and Kypris) and Silk certainly connect them - it is of course my opinion that mamelta/Kypris and Typhon have had a biological son, Silk; I never fancied the proliferation of cloning.  But as with all ambiguous things, the validity of these associations is of course not obvious and consequently is not universally accepted.
