In Greek mythology, Tiphys, son of Hagnias (or of Phorbas and Hyrmina), was the helmsman of the Argonauts. He died of a mysterious illness. After his death, Ancaeus piloted the Argo. Greek mythology comprises the collected legends of Greek gods, goddesses, heroes, and heroines, originally created and spread within an oral-poetic tradition. ... In Greek mythology, Hagnias was the father of Tiphys. ... The Black Sea near the shore of Colchis. ... Ancaeus was a son of Poseidon, Greek mythical god of the sea, horses, and earthquakes, who, having left a flagon of wine to pursue a boar, was killed by it. ...
It is clear that Tiphys intended the invocation to the Nine to be repeated, although this was unclear until I reached the discussion of the flows of power.
Tiphys is brilliant, but I believe myself to be closer to the Enigma than he at the moment, despite his age and experience.
Tiphys is not one to completely let loose his hold on the world, even if that world is subjective and that grip is tenuous.
Tiphys, the steersman: If we could enter the Sea of Pontus, we could make our way across that sea to Colchis in a short time.
Said Jason, the chieftain of the host: The dangers of the passage, Tiphys, we have spoken of, and it may be that we shall have to carry Argo overland to the Sea of Pontus.
But you, Tiphys, have spoken of a wise king who is hereabouts, and who might help us to make the dangerous passage.
