    I read Michell's hardback book 25 years ago and it
    soon after fell apart so I bought a new paperback.

    Michell not only sold me on ciphers but also on group theory...

    I think Oxford wrote the (self referential) Hamlet 1603
    Quarto while others (including Rutland & Lord STRANGE)
    improved upon it for the 1604 Quarto.

    After Rutland died in 1612
    William Stanley honored him in Hamlet's letter: ----------------------------­-------------­-----------

    Claudius reads Hamlet's letter to Laertes:

    'High and mighty, You shall know I am set naked on
    your kingdom. To-morrow shall I beg leave to see
    your kingly eyes: when I shall, first asking your
    pardon thereunto, recount the occasion of my sudden

    _______ *DROESHOUT*
    _______ *HERODOTUS*
    ................................................
    ____ (1939) Encyclopedia Britannica on "Drama"
    .
    ____ *HERODOTUS* had a lot to say
    ____about TRAGEDY (i.e., a goat-song) being a PATHOS
    _____(i.e., the violent death of Dionysus/Osiris
    _______ by *SPARAGMOS* or dismemberment):
    .
    <<...we have the express testimony of *HERODOTUS* that the ritual
    _worship of Dionysus (the god of Drama) was the same as the ritual
    ___ worship of Osiris such that it involved a "sparagmos"
    _ (dismemberment), mourning, search, discovery & resurrection.>>
    .
    ____ HowEVER, *HERODOTUS* avoided directly mentioning
    ____Dionysus OR Osiris in this regard:
    .
    ____ "When the Egyptians lament the god
    ___ whom I may not name in this connection"
    _ "They lament but whom they lament I must not say" -- *HERODOTUS*
    .
    __ For in the manner of ancient religion, it was always necessary
    ____ that Dionysus or Osiris be represented by some surrogate. .......................................................
    In fact, ALL TRAGIC HEROS are simply surrogates of Dionysus/Osiris:
    .
    <<We find a frequent sparagmos of beings who have committed some sin:
    .
    ____ Actaeon by hounds
    ____ Dirce by a bull
    ____ Orpheus by Maenads
    ____ Lycurgus by horses
    ____ Pentheus by Maenads
    ____ HYPPOLYTUS by horses
    .
    This use of a surrogate was made easier by the fact that both
    at Eleusis & in the Osiris rite the myth was conveyed by
    *tableaux* (i.e., 'things shown') rather than by words.
    .
    ___ Thus the death of Pentheus, wearing Dionysiac dress,
    _ would be shown by exactly the same tableau as that of Dionysus.
    .
    ____ THE TRUTH COULD BE SHOWN TO THE WISE
    _ AND AT THE SAME TIME *VEILED FROM THE UNKNOWING*
    .
    ____ Such facts help to explain the charge of
    _"profaning the mysteries" brought against Aeschylus.>> -------------------------------------------------------

    <<ALETHEIa (Ancient Greek: ἀλήθεια) is truth or disclosure in philosophy. It was used in Ancient Greek philosophy and revived in the 20th century by Martin Heidegger. It is a Greek word variously translated as "unclosedness", "unconcealedness", "
    disclosure" or "truth". The literal meaning of the word ἀ–λήθεια is "the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident." It also means factuality or reality. It is the opposite of lethe, which literally means "oblivion", "forgetfulness",
    or "concealment". According to Pindar's Olympian Ode, ALETHEIa is the daughter of Zeus, while Aesop in his Fables said that she was crafted by Prometheus.>>

    <<The *PhilALETHEs* Society is a Masonic research society based in North America and founded on October 1, 1928. Among the original forty Fellows [was Rudyard Kipling]. The Greek word φιλαλήθης (pronounced "fill-a-LAY-thayss") was used by
    ancient writers such as Aristotle & Plutarch, and means "a lover of truth." One of the early uses of the word was as part of a "nome de plume" of Eirenaeus PhilALETHEs (the peaceful lover of truth) who was a 17th-century alchemist and the author of many
    influential works.

    Originally the PhilALETHEs Society consisted only of recognized Masonic authors, limited to forty Fellows at any given time in imitation of the Académie Française. Access was opened to all regular Master Masons through the Correspondence Circle. The
    number of Fellows is still restricted to 40.>> --------------------------------------------------------

    <<Depictions of *SAINT MICHAEL* (feast day: *29 September*) often portray the scene where Satan, or the fallen angels, are helpless below the sword or spear of a triumphant Saint Michael. In some depictions, the Latin phrase Quis ut Deus? can be seen on
    the shield of Saint Michael. The phrase means "Who is like God?" and Saint Michael asks it scornfully as he slays Satan, represented as a dragon, or a man-like figure, at times with wings. In Roman Catholicism Saint Michael has four distinct roles. First,
    he is the Enemy of Satan and the fallen angels. He defeated Satan and ejected him from Paradise and will achieve victory at the hour of the final battle with Satan. Secondly, he is the Christian angel of death: at the hour of death, Saint Michael
    descends and gives each soul the chance to redeem itself before passing. Saint Michael's third role is weighing souls (hence the saint is often depicted holding scales) on Judgment Day. And finally, Saint Michael is the Guardian of the Church.>>

    <<Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (*29 September*r 106 BC – *28 September* 48 BC), known in English as Pompey, was a military and political leader of the late Roman Republic. He came from a wealthy Italian provincial background, and his father had been the
    first to establish the family among the Roman nobility. Pompey's immense success as a general while still very young enabled him to advance directly to his first consulship without meeting the normal requirements for office. His success as a military
    commander in Sulla's second civil war resulted in Sulla bestowing the nickname Magnus, "the Great", upon him. He was consul three times and celebrated three triumphs.
    .
    . Third Mithridatic War
    .
    Pompey built a wall around the area of the Temple and encamped inside this wall. Pompey took advantage of the enemy celebrating the Sabbath to deploy his battering rams. Jewish law did not allow the Jews to meddle with the enemy if they were not
    attacking them on the day of the Sabbath. Therefore, the defenders of the Temple did not counter the deployment of the battering rams by the Romans, which on the other days of the week they had successfully prevented. The next day the wall of the Temple
    was broken through and the soldiers went on the rampage. According to Josephus 12,000 Jews fell. Josephus wrote: "no small enormities were committed about the temple itself, which, in former ages, had been inaccessible, and seen by none; for Pompey went
    into it, and not a few of those that were with him also, and saw all that which it was unlawful for any other men to see but only for the high priests. There were in that temple the golden table, the holy candlestick, and the pouring vessels, and a great
    quantity of spices; and besides these there were among the treasures two thousand talents of sacred money: yet did Pompey touch nothing of all this, on account of his regard to religion; and in this point also he acted in a manner that was worthy of his
    virtue." The next day he ordered the men in charge of the Temple to purify it and to bring offerings to God as Jewish law required. Pompey restored Hyrcanus to the high priesthood "both because he had been useful to him in other respects, and because he
    hindered the Jews in the country from giving Aristobulus any assistance in his war against him.">>
    --------------------------------------------------
    Pompey is mentioned 81 times in Shakespeare. -------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithraism

    <<The Greek biographer Plutarch (46–127 AD) says that "secret mysteries ... of Mithras" were practiced by the pirates of Cilicia, the coastal province in the southeast of Anatolia, who were active in the 1st Century BCE: "They likewise offered strange
    sacrifices; those of Olympus I mean; and they celebrated certain secret mysteries, among which those of Mithras continue to this day, being originally instituted by them." He mentions that the pirates were especially active during the Mithridatic wars (
    between the Roman Republic and King Mithridates VI of Pontus) in which they supported the king. The association between Mithridates and the pirates is also mentioned by the ancient historian Appian. The 4th century commentary on Vergil by Servius says
    that Pompey settled some of these pirates in Calabria in southern Italy.>> --------------------------------------------------
