in all my mythology books,, I cant find anything that calles the helmet by name. His staff/wand,, yes. DId find that skullcap (plant) is named after his helmet,, because the leaves resemble a helmet

Mitch, I think that the answer you are looking for is petasus, which is NOT to be confused with the mythological Pegasus.

Correct, also spelled petasos; today its known as a helmit.

New question: If you were dining at an exotic restaurant and were served aubergine,brinjal, melanzana, and patlican, what type meal would you have?

-- mitch hearn (moopups@citlink.net), March 30, 2002.

Well, if I remember from my traveling days, aubergine would be an eggplant in France, and brinjal would be an eggplant in Asia, so my guess would be eggplant something or other.

-- Elizabeth (ekfla@aol.com), March 30, 2002.

The cat is out of the bag, the 4 names are for eggplant in different parts of the world so the meal would be vegetarian.

new question: Where would you find a funambulist working?

It is, I believe, a tightrope walker.
