  1. keeping the books shut, keeping his eyes shut, silent water over any secrets… what an image I’d never have thought of.

    And like the earlier commenter, I am wondering if Harpo Marx might have had any clue that he was sharing a name with a voluntarily mute god? Could harp music in Greek culture have had a use in–or symbolic meaning of–wordless communication?

    Thank you for introducing us to so many deities!
