letter Daleth and the fourth Tarot Trump "The Emperor". (Robson).
Rising: Hercules, the figure on bended knee and called by the Greek name of Engonasin, about whose origin no
certainty prevails. Of this constellation is begotten the desertion, craftiness, and deceit characteristic of its children,
and from it comes the thug who terrorizes the heart of the city. If perchance his mind is moved to consider a
profession, Engonasin will inspire him with enthusiasm for risky callings, with danger the price for which he will sell his
talents: daring narrow steps on a path without thickness he will plant firm feet on a horizontal tightrope; then, as he
attempts an upward route to heaven, (on a sloping tightrope) he will all but lose his footing and, suspended in mid-air,
he will keep a multitude in suspense upon himself. (Manilus, book 5 of Astronomica, 1st century AD).
