The she in Pointsman's-Minotaur equation is "Venus/Ariadne."

They are linked as synonymous.  Ariadne is a stand-in for Venus.  "... a 
mandate from the submontane Venus ... Venus and Ariadne!" (p. 88)  Ariadne 
was the Bait for Thesius to go after the Minotaur, her half-brother.  But 
after killing the Minotaur and making off to a remote Island w/ Ariadne, 
Thesius abandons/imprisons her on a remote Island.  She is discovered by 
Venus who promises her a new lover, Bacchus.

In an earlier post, GRGR(5), I talked about Pointy's "identification dream"  
where his eyes meet those of the Minotaur.  For him the recognition results 
in nuclear annihilation.

The role of the female is to unite man & monster.

Please tell me how Impolex-G might be the V.ness for Pointy.
