... , if they offer any opinion at all. The most common interpretation of these hymns would regard the tossing of the wheel as a figurative reference to the daily movement of the Sun across heaven. Such an interpretation, however, is hardly satisfactory, as it disregards entirely the identity of Indra and the nature of the cakra's function in ancient myth (i .e ., its role in the dragon combat). If we are to get to the bottom of these peculiar traditions we must start at the beginning and ask what it was that the ancients had in mind when they spoke of the wheel of the Sun?

... known to carry the Aphr- root: "foam" (aphros), "recklessness," and "sexually stimulating," All are obvious associations with Aphrodite's birth and character [7 ]. This will become more significant when we ask why Aphrodite Urania cannot have been Athena, or Ishtar, or another goddess.
