By the way. When the Mithraists ask the Mother what her name is, she says that her name is Lamia, this is another antique reference
Lamia, the daughter of Poseidon and the nymph of Libya (according to other sources, Lamia is the queen of Libya. According to Roman and Greek classics, lamias {type of demons} lived in Africa (the series was filmed in South Africa)), and she was the beloved of Zeus. Hera, having learned about her husband's betrayal, severely revenged Lamia. According to one version, Zeus's legal wife stole the children and killed them. But another, even more terrifying version is more widespread: Hera sent madness to Lamia, and she killed her own children. The vengeance of the offended woman did not end there. Hera sent insomnia to the unfortunate mother, now distraught with grief, so that she would suffer not only during the day, but also at night, without closing her eyes. Lamia tried to gouge her own eyes out to get some rest, but she failed. When Zeus saw what happened to his beloved, he took pity on her, but in a very peculiar way. The Thunderer decided to turn her into a monster so that she could cruelly deal with her offenders. He also gave her as a gift the ability to take out your eyes so that Lamia could rest a little and ease her pain.
