    Default Similarities between spiritual/religious icons

    I figured this fit here better then in "Angels & Demons".

    I was doing random research, as I often do, when I noticed the similarities between the descriptions of Demon Zaebos/Sallos and a picture I found of the god or Devas, Varuna.

    One of Zaebos's descriptions is thus; "Zaebos is a demon or spirit in the Dictionnaire Infernal. Zaebos is said to be the Grand Count of the infernal realms, and appears in the shape of a handsome soldier mounted on a crocodile. He is supposedly of a gentle disposition" Another depiction is of Sallos with a human head, crowned with a ducal coronet, and the body of a crocodile.

    I then came across an image of the God Varuna on his mount makara, " http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...78/M72_4_2.jpg ". At first glance Makara looks a lot like a green giant lizard not too different from a crocodile, and Varuna a handsome man crowned with a coronet.

    I could not help but be stricken by the similarities. I am not saying that Varuna and Zaebos are one and the same, just that they remind me of one another in their depictions. and I found it interesting and thought I'd share my randomness. I'd like to hear any comments and thoughts about this or any other similarities in spiritual / religious icons

    how about dagon, Poseidon, etc.. I have a feeling that the Hindu origin's are the original inspiration.
    Man is invited to question, discover, explore,
    and manipulate the world around him and use it for his benefit.

    Many cultures have different names for the same gods/demons/spirits because of the language differences. The name must change in order that the numbers of the jumatra (don't know how to spell that) stays the same.
