Helmet Of Invisibility

[David Amicus]

Both Pluto and Autolycus (son of Mercury) had a helmet of invisibility.

Is there a special Latin word for a helmet of invisibility?

Well no, Pluto is a planet, or not.

Autolucos ["the self-wolf"] father [Hermes] had a helmet, or not [not
Hermes].

Greek: "Haïdos kune-ehn" [litt: "the dog-skin of Hades"]
[Cap of invisibility, Cap of Hades, Helm of Hades,Helm of Darkness]
functioning much like the cloud of mist that the gods surround themselves
with to become undetectable.

Hades [= Pluto] owned it

Hermes used it when killing Gorgo or Medusa, or that was just his own
"Petasos" [=sun-helmet], or a winged helmet!

And such winged helmet is the one of Asterix.

=================

So I would translate the Greek "Haïdos kune-ehn"

into Latin "Galea canocoriara" [the doghide cap].

or perhaps "Galea invisibilitatis" [the cap of invisibility].

So Galea it is!

Galea Plutonis - Helmet of Pluto

Galea Autolyci - Helmet of Autolycus - something every thief should have! ;-)))

btw:

Galileo (plural galileos)

= The CGS unit of acceleration,
equal to 1 centimetre per second per second.
Symbol: Gal

Gr: galilaios = from Galilee, person from G.
