Rome, Odin, and the Alien Universe
I just learned, at this amazingly late date, that there is a common Indo-European cosmogeny involving Manu and Yemo and a cow that tends to appear in all IE cultures - e.g. in India, they are known as Manu and Yama, in Rome, as Romulus and Remus (Yemus), along with a common motif of of a cow (wolf) and suckling. This is apparently more or less what is being depicted in the opening scene of the Alien universe movie Prometheus according to some accounts . . . wild stuff and a new area of historical religion and myth for me to delve into.
