It's occurred to me that the Green Man who Severian rescues in Book of the
New Sun, has possible interesting connections to Osiris.
Osiris: green-skinned god of vegetation, wheat grew from his body
Green Man: green man whose body has been modified to grow algae as a
nutrient source
Osiris: killed by Typhon
Green Man: comes from future possible Urth, an Urth which Severian notes
will die (never come to be) if the tyrant Typhon is victorious
Am I just imagining this?
