    Could make an argument for that.
    I don't see him in that semi-divine role of Hercules or the quasi-divine role of Gilgamesh.
    Moses is an agent of the divine but is not divine in and of himself, same as Daniel. Neither has power of his own or any daemonic attributes.
    Moses is more akin to Odysseus than he is to Hercules or Gilgamesh

    That may be why Cold Cat chose Nanabozho, the Native American equivalent in that both are trickster gods.

    Along those lines, I think Anansi would be a good choice. A bit more fun than Nanabozho, but not to the point that he brings about Ragnarok.

    Jesus -- no pun intended -- I was just looking for an excuse to type ISIS last night when I started this thread.

    Who knew it would actually lead to something.
