Here's the riddle. Maybe we all could put our heads together and figure it out.


The river to the underworld

Gaia’s daughter all unfurled

Fourth minor bear in vain

By viper’s sting was slain

Also known as Nemesis

The doom of Chimera

She is tasked with soothing pain

Suckling Odysseus from afar

Mother of the mother of

Leader of the Titans

He transformed into a hawk

A daughter of Daedalion’s

The piercer was how he was known

Mother of Ulysses

Ruler of the winds

God of night, primordial flees

Zeus’ namesake now lies in Sol

Achilles’ favoured horse

Women of vengeance infernal

The vain queen rides not forth

A final word, a course to follow, a poor miser’s sum

If you would understand it all, seek Fibonacci’s Zephyrum

Well my interpretation of it led me to start searching the asteroid belts in Sol, unfortunately they've vanished :(

Think I'll leave this one to smarter cmdrs than me.
 
"Zeus’ namesake now lies in Sol" = Jupiter

"Leader of titans" = Cronos which is also the roman name for Saturn

"Achilles’ favoured horse" = There was two Balius and Xanthus. Xanthus apparently has been recorded as a NEO (near earth object)

"Mother of Ulysses" = incorrect


This is all just using google, looks like there is somthing to find in Sol. I will update if i work out anymore. Im 30k ly away but somone go check out the crator for me haha

Here's the riddle. Maybe we all could put our heads together and figure it out.


The river to the underworld - styx

Gaia’s daughter all unfurled - several daughters, possibly referring to Earth itself or maybe Rhea, mother of Zeus

Fourth minor bear in vain - Ursa minor possibly, 4 Ursae Minoris

By viper’s sting was slain - Unsure, possibly referring to Echidna

Also known as Nemesis - Goddess of revenge, possibly referring to her other names

The doom of Chimera - Bellerophon killed the Chimera

She is tasked with soothing pain

Suckling Odysseus from afar

Mother of the mother of - Gaia's mother?

Leader of the Titans - Cronos

He transformed into a hawk

A daughter of Daedalion’s

The piercer was how he was known

Mother of Ulysses

Ruler of the winds

God of night, primordial flees

Zeus’ namesake now lies in Sol -Jupiter

Achilles’ favoured horse - had 3 horses, 2 immortal, 3rd died.

Women of vengeance infernal

The vain queen rides not forth

A final word, a course to follow, a poor miser’s sum

If you would understand it all, seek Fibonacci’s Zephyrum

Stuff I could think of, although its doesn't really solve anything. Chances are the guys in the rift thread will solve it long before we could.

Here's the riddle. Maybe we all could put our heads together and figure it out.


The river to the underworld

Styx

Gaia’s daughter all unfurled

Rhea

Fourth minor bear in vain

no idea what that means

By viper’s sting was slain

Eurydice

Also known as Nemesis

Rhamnousia

The doom of Chimera

No idea

She is tasked with soothing pain

Suckling Odysseus from afar

Possibly Athena, who favoured Odysseus.

Mother of the mother of

Leader of the Titans

Gaia

He transformed into a hawk

Not sure from Greek myth. Hawks are associated with Hermes, but he never turned into one. Could be a nod to Egyptianl mythos, Horus.

A daughter of Daedalion’s

Chione most likely

The piercer was how he was known

Iapetus

Mother of Ulysses

Anticlea - Ulysses is Odysseus.

Ruler of the winds

Difficult - could be the Anemoi or Aeolus (Storm God)

God of night, primordial flees

Nyx

Zeus’ namesake now lies in Sol

Zeus is Jupiter in Roman mythos

Achilles’ favoured horse

No idea - never knew he had one.

Women of vengeance infernal

Erynyes or The Furies or, if you like Neil Gaimen, The Kindly Ones

The vain queen rides not forth

Not too sure, too vague. Could be a reference to Andromeda's story.

A final word, a course to follow, a poor miser’s sum

No idea

If you would understand it all, seek Fibonacci’s Zephyrum

We all know Fibonacci! Zephyrus is the west wind.

Hello everyone,

Long time reader, first time poster, but this has caught my interest. I might have been ninja'd to the easy ones but I think "the ruler of the winds" was Aeolus.

They must all be references to celestial bodies or maybe even constellations?

I may be wrong but was Achilles' horse not called pegasus?

Let the shout down commence [yesnod]
 
I did think the Fibonacci part of the riddle may be pointing toward the asteroid in the Sol system "6765 Fibonacci", however since the asteroid clusters in Sol have vanished it would seem to be a wrong turn.
 
"Mother of Ulysses" = Odysseus, which is a crator on the moon Tethys which orbits Saturn (somone close enough might want to check that out)

Anyone care to go have a look for me? Im 30k ly away from sol!

I'll check it out after the footy I'm only a couple of jumps away at jamerson.
 
Our Solar System was designed by the Fibonacci Sequence

Planets' Moons:
1 (Earth) / 2 (Mars) / 70 (Jupiter) / 62 (Saturn) / 27 (Uranus) / 13 (Neptune) / 5 (Pluto)
Planets' Moons In Theoretical Order:
1 / 2 / 5 / 13 (14) / 27 / 62? / 70?
Fibonacci Sequence ["f" represents numbers from the Fibonacci Sequence]:
Practical Implication - 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55? and 89?
Planetary Implication - 0 (Moonless Mercury) 1 (Moonless Venus) 1 2 (Earth & Mars) 5 (Pluto) 14(?) (5+8f=13/Neptune) 27 (14+13f=27/Uranus) 62 (27+14+21f=62/Saturn) 70 (Jupiter)
The "Solar System Was Shuffled Between Earth, Mars and Pluto For A Reason" Theory: 70 - 62 = 8. 1 + 2 + 5 = 8. The Solar System was Shuffled, that is why the planet's moons are in a weird order. When you put the planets in order of having least moons to having most moons, you will see that this theory is connecting the Planet System to the Fibonacci Sequence. Not only that, but the two are "intertwined".
Theoretical Concept - Shuffled Solar System:
Earth > Mars > Pluto > Neptune > Uranus > Saturn > Jupiter
X (Earth) > Red > L Brown (Yellow) > L Blue > D Blue > Yellow > Red [Pattern]
One More Example: Pluto has five moons.
The fibonacci sequence at this time is 8. [See above Fibonacci Sequence and Planet Order Chart]
5 + 8 = 13.
How many moons does Neptune have? 13.
The core of our planet is red, orange and yellow.
The outside of that core is green, light blue and dark blue.
The Universe surrounding the planet which contains the core is purple.
 
Fourth minor bear in vain = Ursa Minor.

"Minor bear" could be Ursa Minor (Ursa being Latin for "Bear"). Well, pretty certain it is - since that's a literal translation to Latin.

Here my Astronomy abandons me. What does "Forth" and "Vain" mean?

Okay - four systems in Ursa Minor contains planets. So i'm guessing it's one of those four. Which is connected to vanity?

Forth as in 'go forth' so onwards in time or in space.

Vain either means doing something that fails, or having a high opinion of oneself.
