Ts'ang Chieh: the invention of Chinese writing is attributed to him; he was a minister of the "Yellow Emperor"

The Heraclides are the descendants of Heracles, who captured Peloponnesus.

Brown recluse: could this be related mythology-wise to Ariadne, who made Athena jealous and got turned into a spider?

 		ok there needs to be some key for this cipher... there are 3 coded images so far...

I've got
WQVTE TDSRO DSAPI

WLPAE NNVTT

ECHO
DMHNJ TTAVI DXGM

which I'm assuming so far are better laid out
WQVTE TDSRO DSAPI
WLPAE NNVTT ECHO
DMHNJ TTAVI DXGM

5 letters each... something makes me think there's another pair for the first line... is there another image with code letters?

the two wheels need to line up somehow...

More on this...

it's a half cow half human. Well, more like a cow with a human face. Since it feeds only on pure and good women it is very skinny and underfed.

cockatrice
steropes - one eye
chicevache -
kali ma - 4 arms
ts'ang Chieh - 4 eyes
Brown Recluse - eight legs or 6 eyes
Chupacubra
Heraclides' guide - three eyes
Manikanda's coconut - three eyes

will update as necessary


Quote:
The most definitive physical feature of recluse spiders is their eyes: most spiders have eight eyes that typically are arranged in two rows of four but recluse spiders have six equal-sized eyes arranged in three pairs, called dyads.


oops I fixed the four eyes, I had them on the wrong one

 		brown recluse spiders (unlike other spiders) have 6 eyes.

(Other spiders have 8.)

Actually I lied.. we need to extract images/wavs from the following:

I don't have any way to do that here at work.


Can't seem to save a corrupted version of margarets_market. If anyone has one let me know. I didn't realise the other 2 were not done, I'll see what I can find.

 		bee2_margaretphoto.jpg:

That cross looks like something you should cut out and fold up and put together into a cube... so I did, and while some of the markings line up, it's nothing I recognize. Anyone else want to take a shot at it?

 		Worked these out myself, but I see most have been done already. Still as summation is:

/15 Cockatrice – 2 legs
/70 Steropes – 1 eye
/20 Chichevache –?
/30 Kali Ma – 6 limbs
/Ts'ang Chieh - 4 eyes (mythical inventor of Chinese writing)
/10 Brown recluse – 8 legs
/10 Chupacubra - ?(Mexican goat sucker)
/20 Heraclides' guide 3 eyes (2 human, one horse)
/40 Manikanda's coconut 3 eyes

Can't be dates as the second number is too high. Fractions? Not whole numbers.
