    What name is shared by Greek chthonic god and a Sir Walter Scott character who is fascinated by soil?

    Question #70484. Asked by smartie806. (Sep 06 06 2:52 PM)

    		Nobody seems interested in this one. The Scott character was in "The Pirate," if that helps...

    		Triptolemus is the answer. It's quite a fun name to say, actually.

    		Oh, not to worry, peasy. "The Pirate" is one of Scott's most obscure novels. And I note that smartie didn't provide a reference site for Triptolemus Yellowley, so I will:

    		And here's a site for the original chthonic deity.

    We love them where I come from. Lots of nice sculptures, reliefs, and leftover statue bases:
