Some I have identified as avatar types in paganism are
Fintan, Lleu Llaw Gyffes, Amergin, Fionn, Myrddin,
Gwion (Taliesin), Angus, Dionysus, Adonis and
the Havamal 137--144 composer.

Do you know of any other names I should add to that
list and do some library and/or web research on for
my Salmon on the Thorns web page?   In particular
I don't yet have any Scottish or Breton names.  Also
I would like to know the name of the skald who was
inspired to compose Havamal 137--144.

By the way, I have given up on the four components
including the popthroughs.
