Fresh Batch #3 Pole Star Farrago Part 2

Apollo

Do you realize, when watching someone use English puns for Modern Medieval Latin words (such as polaris) that have nothing to do with ancient times, that they’re not proving anything but are rather just speaking poetry? A good example of this would be seeing a numpty claim Apollo is A-Pole… Hopefully all of you have higher standards for learning and research than this. Even if someone believed the status quo that Apollo is Greek, which you will soon see it isn’t, the phonetic would be found in polis, meaning city. One could make the philological case of pyle/pule (πύλη), but it is not pronounced anything like pole, and it means gate. Aguieus is an epithet for Apollo, meaning he of the street because he is the protector of the streets, public places, and the entrances of homes (Godsacre, p. 212). Let’s address the claim that Apollo is the North Star:

The tweet I grabbed this from read, “The painted terracotta Etruscan Aplu (Apollo) once adorned the rooftop of the Portonaccio Temple to Minerva in Veii, Italy. He stands at 5 feet 11 inches tall. Aplu has an almost impish appearance plus stylized hair & impressive drapery. ca. 500 BCE, National Etruscan Museum.”

Minerva is Etruscan, spelled MENRVA.

Even her Greek counterpart is Athena, meaning from Tina, Tinia, or Thina, an Etrusco-Phoenician archetype. This corresponds in the Celtic as well: A-Thina, or from Thina. This is because Minerva is Wisdom, coming from the head of Tina/Tinia. So why would the Etruscans use their own mythology and borrow an alleged Greek God to put on their archetype and in their stories? Look at the plate mirror. It reads from right to left: Laran, Turan, Menrva, Aplu. Aplu is Etruscan, not Greek.
