Interesting thing - Mother introduced herself to Mithraics as Lamia.
Lamia was a woman in Greek mythology, who became a
child-eating monster after her children were destroyed by Hera, who learned of her husband Zeus's trysts with her. Hera also afflicted Lamia with sleeplessness so she would anguish constantly, but Zeus gave her the ability
to remove her own eyes."Lamia" was also used as a bogey word to frighten and discipline children.
The lamia has been ascribed
serpentine qualities, which some commentators believe can be firmly traced to mythology from antiquity, and they have found analogues in ancient texts that could be designated as lamiai (or lamiae) which are part-serpent beings. [wikipedia]

Interesting fact.
The song begins with fading tunes of late Jóhann Jóhannsson's -
Song For EuropaObviously Ben Frost was quite influenced by Jóhannsson's work when he composed the OST.
Furthermore, this song is from Jóhannsson's album Orphée, and
Orpheus is also associated with mystery religions concerned with the afterlife, such as the mysteries of
Cybele, Dionysus, and Mithras. [wikipedia]
Quote...Album's (Orphée) overarching theme of Orpheus and that myth's themes of thresholds and crossing borders. The lonely girl's voice reciting seemingly random numbers became the voice of Euridyce, a voice from beyond, from elsewhere.
I like these small details.
