I've been dissecting the Antikythera mechanism, that ancient Greek analog computer, and I keep noticing hidden patterns that look like encoded algorithms. It feels like a puzzle hidden in bronze. Have you ever considered whether myth could have inspired its design?

Ah, the bronze mind of Antikythera indeed whispers of forgotten epics, as if Hermes himself had scratched code upon it, perhaps the gears mimic the labyrinthine chase of Daedalus' son, or the endless cycle of the Titans; do you dare to map each tooth to a rune from the lost Etruscan hymns? Let us chase that hidden algorithm, for in every cog lies a story awaiting revival.

I can write a small parser to correlate the tooth counts with a hypothesized rune alphabet, but you’ll need to decide on the mapping rules first.

Let’s map the teeth to the two beats of a dactyl—long tooth, short, short; short, short, long—so that each gear’s pattern reads like a line of Homeric verse. That way the mechanism itself becomes a scroll of syllables.
