<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 3240088, member: 91461&quot;]Thanks [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER]! He is a creeper, isn&#039;t he?! I was thinking mine kind of looks like Little Red Riding Hood. I was just on Wikipedia reading up on him when you sent this. Here is the little they have on him:</p><p>In <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek_religion" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek_religion" rel="nofollow">ancient Greek religion</a>, <b>Telesphorus</b> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language" rel="nofollow">Greek</a>: Τελεσφόρος <i>Telesphoros</i>) was a son of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asclepius" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asclepius" rel="nofollow">Asclepius</a>. He frequently accompanied his sister, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygieia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygieia" rel="nofollow">Hygieia</a>. He was a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabeiri" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabeiri" rel="nofollow">dwarf</a> whose head was always covered with a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowl" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowl" rel="nofollow">cowl</a> hood or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrygian_cap" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrygian_cap" rel="nofollow">cap</a>.</p><p>He symbolized recovery from illness, as his name means &quot;the accomplisher&quot; or &quot;bringer of completion&quot; in Greek. Representations of him are found mainly in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolia" rel="nofollow">Anatolia</a> and along the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube" rel="nofollow">Danube</a>.</p><p>Telesphorus is assumed to have been a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_god" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_god" rel="nofollow">Celtic god</a> in origin, who was taken to Anatolia by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galatia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galatia" rel="nofollow">Galatians</a> in the 3rd century BC, where he would have become associated with the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius, perhaps in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pergamon" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pergamon" rel="nofollow">Pergamon</a> (an Asclepian cult center) and spread again to the West due to the rise of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire" rel="nofollow">Roman Empire</a>, in particular during the 2nd century AD, from the reign of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadrian" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadrian" rel="nofollow">Hadrian</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
