We know what’s sprouting, but Mantel’s trilogy lets us imagine that it might all have been different. Did Anne Boleyn’s neck have to meet the sword of an executioner brought from Calais to do her in? Did Thomas Cromwell have to cross the Styx himself four years later?

(intransitive, literary or humorous) To die.

Dyeus

Learned borrowing from Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws. Doublet of Jove and Zeus.

learned borrowing

Varuna may be related to Οὐρανός, and the inversion of the rôles of this deity and Dyeus as between India and Greece may indicate an ancient rival of the Sky-Father.

1926, V. Gordon Childe, The Aryans: A Study of Indo-European Origins, page 81:

But these myths are on the whole of purely Greek origin, where the original Dyeus was associated with the Sun- and the Moon-myths.[…]Thus among the I.E.s we first have Dyeus, the god of the sky, who was the god of the sum total of the phenomena observed in the sky, the original conception, however powerful, being as yet too confused to have any definiteness about it.

1933, Panjabrao Deshmukh, The Origin and Development of Religion in Vedic Literature, Oxford University Press, pages 93, 126:

ARYAN RELIGION, the religion of the Aryans who settled India and Iran in pre-Zoroastrian times evolved around a supreme sky god known as Dyeus, who was the Allfather of both gods and men and the consort of the Mother Earth.

1985, Roger Pearson, Anthropological Glossary, →ISBN, page 16:

Four or five thousand years ago (around 2500 b.c.) the Aryans, or Indo-Europeans, settled in Iran and India. Their supreme god was Dyeus (thence Zeus, deus, deity, and other words). Dyeus was the shining God of Sky, the giver of rain, the vanquisher of enemies with thunderbolts.

1990, Sophy Burnham, A Book of Angels: Reflections on Angels Past and Present, and True Stories of How They Touch Our Lives, Ballantine Books, →ISBN, page 119:

“God” to the Aryans was male and took on many forms. Their major gods were connected to the sun, the most important were Agni, Indra, and Varunai. Their main god was Dyeus (Sky God).[…]Dyeus / The God of the Aryans.

2003, Constance Victoria Briggs, The Encyclopedia of God: An A-Z Guide to Thoughts, Ideas, and Beliefs about God, Hampton Roads Publishing Company, →ISBN, pages 23, 68:

The PIE peoples had called their chief god by almost the same name: Dyeus. Like Zeus, Dyeus was a male god of sky and thunder. The Romans picked up on Dyeus too. The name “Jupiter” came from dyeu-pater, PIE for god-father. Later on, the Romans equated Jupiter with Zeus, a kind of double derivation from Dyeus.

der

1911, Morris Jastrow, Aspects of Religious Belief and Practice in Babylonia and Assyria, G. P. Putnam's Sons, page 369,
A myth^‡ describes how Nergal invaded the domain of Ereshkigal, and forced her to yield her dominion to him. The gods are depicted as holding a feast to which all come except Ereshkigal.

1988, Samuel A. Meier, The Messenger in the Ancient Semitic World, Scholars' Press, page 159,
There still remains the problem of why the messenger from heaven bows while the messenger from below receives homage. In light of the suggestion earlier that Ereshkigal is depicted in a much more favorable light than the heavenly trinity of ruling gods, the issue of bowing messengers reaffirms this impression.

1996, Tanya Wilkinson, Persephone Returns: Victims, Heroes and the Journey from the Underworld, PageMill Press, page 237,
The dark sister is Ereshkigal, a Goddess with clear qualities and strong emotions. The myth describes in detail how Inanna surrenders to an excruciating, dismembering initiation into the Underworld.

(Mesopotamian mythology) The goddess of the underworld.

[ˈu̯oːd̪änʊs̠]

From Old High German Wōdan, from Proto-Germanic *Wōdanaz. A well-known attestation is from between 639 and 641, and relates an event most probably from 610 at Tuggen by Lake Zürich in today's Switzerland, although it has often been understood to have happened not far away at Bregenz by Lake Constance in today's western Austria, from an unscrupulous reading of the text by Jonas of Bobbio.

Deinde perveniunt ad locum, quem peragrans vir Dei non suis placere animis ait, sed tamen ob fidem in eis serendam inibi paulisper moraturum se spopondit. Sunt etenim inibi vicinae nationes Suevorum. Quo cum moraretur, et inter habitatores loci illius progrederetur, reperit eos sacrificium profanum litare velle, vasque magnum, quod vulgo cupam vocant, quod viginti et sex modios amplius minusve capiebat, cervisia plenum in medio habebant positum. Ad quod vir Dei accessit, et sciscitatur quid de illo fieri vellent. Illi aiunt Deo suo Vodano, quem Mercurium vocant alii, se velle litare. Ille pestiferum opus audiens, vas eminus sufflat, miroque modo vas cum fragore dissolvitur, et in frusta dividitur, visque rapida cum fragore cervisiae prorumpit: manifesteque datur intelligi diabolum in eo vase fuisse occultatum, qui per profanum litatorem caperet animas sacrificantium. Videntes barbari obstupefacti aiunt magnum virum Dei habere anhelitum, qui sic possit dissolvere vas ligaminibus munitum: castigatosque dictis evangelicis, ut ab his segregarentur sacrificiis, domibus redire imperat. Multi ergo eorum tunc per beati viri suasum ad doctrinam et ad Christi fidem conversi, baptismum consecuti sunt; aliosque etiam, quos jam lavacro ablutos error detinebat profanus, ad cultum evangelicae doctrinae monitis suis ut bonus pastor Ecclesiae seminibus reducebat sparsis.

c. 639 CE – 641 CE, Ionas Bobiensis, Vita Sancti Columbani Abbatis Mabillon: Acta Sanctorum Ordinis S. Benedicti, Vol. I, Venice, 1733, pp. 3-26. Latin; edited by Dana C. Munro in University of Pennsylvania.

Vol. II. No. 7

At length they arrived at the place designated, which did not wholly please Columban; but he decided to remain, in order to spread the faith among the people, who were Swabians. Once as he was going through this country, he discovered that the natives were going to make a heathen offering. They had a large cask that they called a cupa, and that held about twenty-six measures, filled with beer and set in their midst. On Columban’s asking what they intended to do with it, they answered that they were making an offering to their God Wodan (whom others call Mercury). When he heard of this abomination, he breathed on the cask, and lo! it broke with a crash and fell in pieces so that all the beer ran out. Then it was clear that the devil had been concealed in the cask, and that through the earthly drink he had proposed to ensnare the souls of the participants. As the heathens saw that, they were amazed and said Columban had a strong breath, to split a wellbound cask in that manner. But he reproved them in the words of the Gospel, and commanded them to cease from such offerings and to go home. Many were converted then, by the preaching of the holy man, and turning to the learning and faith of Christ, were baptized by him. Others, who were already baptized but still lived in the heathenish unbelief, like a good shepherd, he again led by his words to the faith and into the bosom of the church.

Dóng was probably the village name and not the personal name of the character in the legend. The tên Nôm of the village of Phù Đổng was Dóng.
The spelling ‹Gióng› is unetymological but more commonly used than ‹Dóng›. Compare also giềng (as in láng giềng), a word now commonly spelled with ‹gi› but attested as diềng in Middle Vietnamese.

huldre

Learned borrowing from Norwegian hulder, with the same meaning.

All these things, it was said, must have a cause, and from ignorance of nature, joined to superstition and a lively imagination, the idea suggested itself of conjuring up beings, to whom all these phenomena might be ascribed, and who, according to the places of sojourn assigned them, were called Forest-trolls, Huldres, Mountain-trolls, Vættir, Elves, Dwarfs, Nisser, Mares, etc.

1851, Benjamin Thorpe, Northern Mythology, volume II, page xiii:

One time a huldre was present at a gathering, where everyone wanted to dance with the pretty stranger, but in the midst of the merriment, the young fellow who was dancing with her, caught sight of her long tail.

1896, William A. Craigie, Scandinavian Folk-lore, page 167:

(Norwegian folklore) A type of supernatural being in the shape of a beautiful woman with a cow's tail.

In Norway, the Huldre drive cattle before them, which are as blue as they are themselves.

1828, T. Crofton Croker, Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland, volume 3, page 138:

"Well, the first time I came across the huldre, I was about eight or nine years old, and it was somewhere up on the main road between Bjerke and Mo."

1886, Peter Christen Asbjørnsen, translated by H.L. Brækstad, Folk and Fairy Tales, page 27:

The mention of the tail relates the wood-fairy to the Huldre who were very beautiful except for a long tail which they always tried to hide, as the Wood Elves hid their hollow back.

1978, Katherine M. Briggs, The Vanishing People, page 76:

He spake; and, to confirm his words, outflew
Millions of flaming swords, drawn from the thighs
Of mighty Cherubim; the sudden blaze
Far round illumined Hell.

1667, John Milton, “Book I”, in Paradise Lost:

The dexter figure has five stars round the verge of his head, and a flaming sword in the left hand. The sinister figure has the same flaming sword coupled with a branch of olive.

A pair of scales are also used as a single symbol, excepting the flaming sword mentioned by your correspondent Mr. Vincent, to typify the Archangel Michael, in the same way that the white lily denotes the Archangel Gabriel. He is always represented by the ecclesiastical Byzantine painters as a young warrior of surpassing beauty, standing on the body of an old dead man, with wings expanded, and holding a flaming sword in his right, and a pair of scales in his left hand, in order to show that with the first he took his soul, and with the second he weighs the good and bad actions which the man had accomplished during his stay on earth.
