Screenshot of Zephyrus system, a couple of interesting things in this system.

Is it me or are the last two lines only needing one answer

A final word, a course to follow, a poor miser’s sum , if you would understand it all, seek Fibonacci’s Zephyrum - ???

It seems to read better like that.

Yep. It all fits.

A final word = Zero left to say
A course to follow = Zero is a figure without beginning or end. An unending loop to be followed and traced.
A poor miser's sum = In Aesop's fable of the Miser and His Gold the miser had everything stolen and was left with zero.
Fibonacci's Zephyrum = Zero.

ah nice! I have only one uncertainity with your answers: How do you know Xanthos was the favoured horse of Achilles could it not as well be Balios the other horse of his chariot-team? Else that's the same I found. Congrats.

Xanthos was the Horse who betrayed the gods and told Achilles who killed his friend Patroklos. The murderer was also a god. And so the gods took the ability to speak from Xanthos.
So my guess was this horse was the "better" one. ^^

True
So now it has all to be put together...

From the German version of the riddle, it is absolutely clear the last two lines are one sentence, and evaluate to 'zero' or 'null' (arab. sifr == zephyr?).

This is correct. The last two lines are to be viewed together as a single clue.

Cheers,

Drew.

Just a thought maybe number 3 fourth minor bear maybe the system 22 Epsilon ursae minoris. which is the fourth labelled in the constellation.

Rhamnousia is also known as Nemesis, which is a planet in Momus Reach

Yes I was lucky enough for someone to share the translation with me for that. But if the answer is 0 what could that mean? We are missing something here I reckon :/

But apparently the answer isn't zero ...

Apparently not. I feel like we are so close the answer is about to jump out and bonk me on the nose!

Is this all a sort of "report"?

The names are shipnames, planets, systems and the zero... zephyrum is... the destination or the word for "that's the destination" or "the end of my journey"?

Like some words out of this said report, used for hints.

Like:
"I landet on Luna with my ship Sol. We started and go further to Jupiter... "

o_O?

I'm confused that people have wondered about some lines up to the last pages. Did something go under in all the posts? We already posted the complete correct list in this thread yesterday. (That is more than half a day ago).
