Your article is excellent!!! You are doing very interesting work! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I would just like to add that:
The Star-in-the-Circle symbol, often associated with the pentagram, holds deep roots in ancient Greek philosophy and cosmology. Originally revered by the Pythagoreans, it symbolized human perfection, the divine within, and the harmony of the cosmos. The five points represented the elements—earth, water, air, fire, and spirit—with the upward vertex signifying the divine. The pentagram was also linked to the golden ratio, embodying balance and beauty in the universe. Over time, however, its meaning was distorted, particularly during the Christianization of Europe, where pagan symbols like the pentagram were demonized and associated with malevolent forces. This misappropriation stripped the symbol of its original spiritual and philosophical significance, turning it into a misunderstood emblem of the occult. Reclaiming its ancient meaning reminds us of its role as a symbol of unity, wisdom, and the interconnectedness of all things, challenging the misconceptions that have obscured its true purpose.
Apollodoros translated "your stuff" in -rare- Greek language, and shared it throughout Greek readers. This results in more compliments to your work.
Apollodoros recomented me several good authors -included you- in substack.
We Greeks consider exposing / approaching the TRUTH as the uppermost Moral Duty a person must have, mainly when this person develops public profile and speech.
Be well and strong... and in Greek "έρρωσο και ευδαιμόνει", traslated "be sane and in beatitude" (good relation with yourself)
Semantics may get cloudy between cultures and generations, and some might accuse me of being somewhat hypocritical (including myself), but I do bend over backwards to cite and link to sources that I am working with, and if I'm asking for remuneration, I try to add value on top of what the original sources provided. On-the-fly translation is something I use everyday.
φίλε Απολλόδωρε, όλους τους δυνατούς / πιθανούς συνδυασμούς του λεγόμενου "πεντάλφα", χιλιόμετρα μπλα-μπλα -και φαντασιακά- αλλά μακρυά από γεννήτορα της Πυθαγόρα...
Γιατί άραγε του Πυθαγόρα ;
Επεξήγηση : οι πλευρές της "πεντάλφα" τέμνονται αλλήλων κατα αναλογία Φ (φι ~ 1,62) ονομαζόμενη "χρυσή τομή" (πατέρας ο Πυθαγόρας)... και το κανονικό 5πλευρο, που την περικλείει ειναι βασικό Πυθαγόρειο Σχήμα.
Προς τί όλος αυτός ο ορυμαγδός ;; ...
Εξήγηση : όπως πάντα, καπηλεύονται ενα πανάρχαιο Ελληνικό εύρημα, το συμβολοδότησαν -συνήθως αρνητικά- και το διαπομπεύουν στα δίκτυα των αμαθών.
Αρα... η διαπόμπευση του Ελληνισμού καλά κρατεί.
Νασαι καλα και δυνατός, φίλε μου... αλλά μην μεταφράζεις κακόβουλα, για τον Ελληνισμό αφηγήματα... τουλάχιστον χωρίς μια κριτική, μικρή έστω, σχετική υποσημείωσή σου .

Τhanks again!
Yes, it's all epistemological warfare to me. Hey, if you're going to steal my stuff and ask for money, know that the compliments are lost on me.
Good job, Duke.
