"probably intended to be protection against evil spirits."

OK, it's sourced, but; why does everybody say that about everything 'fearsome' depicted in every ancient culture? It seems so daft to me. Today, aren't there people who use "demonic" symbolism because it 'looks cool', is ferocious makes them feel tough and 'hardcore'? Could people have changed their motivations that much? Evolution hasn't changed us at all since then. In the far future, are people going to look at pictures of how modern "goth" culture dressed or heavy metal album covers and say "they probably did this to scare off evil spirits"...?? Come on, these were the same people who spawned the vikings! Isn't it more likely they wanted to "be" the evil spirits? 67.5.156.165 (talk) 08:13, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

"partner"

I'm not sure the translation is correct calling him their "partner". This sounds a bit like they had a romance going on. Since this is meant as a business partner where they would likely have travelled together for trading/raiding, maybe just translate it to "companion"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.241.128.189 (talk) 21:29, 31 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
