Help[Facts] Athamas...
in reply to a message by Pavlos
Do you suppose there may be some connection between the name "Athamas" and the "athame" -- the "air dagger" ceremonial tool used by some neopagans? I don't know the origin of the word "athame", but I was wondering if there might be some connection there.

Hmmm...quite plausible :)Havent found an etymology for "athame", any ideas?
The only alternative long-shot etymologies I can conjecture could me "adamas" ("diamond") or "athambia" ("imperturbability")
