They are also called the world's deadliest weapon. The trident, besides being the symbol of the devil and Poseidon, is perhaps most mythically "correct" in being the weapon of Shiva:<br /><br />"This trident belongs not to the devil, however, but one who is sometimes mistaken for him: Shiva, the Divine Bowman. Its (target) are the three cities of Tripura- in the words of author Heinrich Zimmer, 'the amalgamated demon-citadel of the world', wrought from iron, silver and gold on the three great planes of earth, sky and heaven. Three great cities in constant rotation; so designed to cheat the prophecy that they- and the Empire they nourish- must one day fall prey to a single bolt from Shiva's bow; a feat that can be accomplished only when the moon floats into a certain rare orbit, and all three rotating cities are conjunct." - Ben Fairhall<br /><br />I sometimes take the dogs on a walk through Magnuson Park, and <a href="http://faculty.washington.edu/jtyoung/fins.html" rel="nofollow"> "The Fin Project"</a> - from swords into plowshares.Proafilehttp://proafile.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556034524339788728.post-19929394517070708692009-06-06T23:36:48.046-04:002009-06-06T23:36:48.046-04:00Creed O', don't get too rusty on me.
