          I felt my Zeppelin rising, but then I was brought down to earth like a lead balloon...

          Sorry, no.

            Zoroastre?

            .... branch = Rameau ....

            Act II : " In the dungeons of the fortress of Bactria, Abramane and Erinice are torturing Amélite to force her to renounce the throne"

            Act III ; "Abramane hides Erinice in a cloud. At dawn, Zoroastre, Amélite and the Bactrian people assemble to worship the Supreme Being then celebrate the marriage of Zoroastre and Amélite. As the wedding ceremony takes place, Abramane arrives on a fiery chariot and kidnaps Amélite. "

                              ... good lord, how many d'you want!

                              Zoroastre, Zarathustra, Sarastro, Zoroaster...

                              "Zoroaster
                              Zaraϑuštra Spitāma


                              "Zoroaster (Persian: زرتشت) ( /ˈzoʊrɵ.æstər/ ZOHR-oh-as-tər; Avestan: Zaraϑuštra; born between the 18th and 6th century BCE) was an Iranian/Persian prophet and philosopher and the founder of Zoroastrianism. The spelling "Zoroaster" is a Greek derivation from the Avestan. Zarathushtra ( /ˌzɑrəˈθuːʃtrə/ ZAHR-ə-THOO-shtrə) is a modern rendering of the Avestan pronunciation, though Zarathustra ( /ˌzærəˈθuːstrə/ ZARR-ə-THOO-strə) is more commonly used. In the Middle Persian and modern Persian languages he is called Zardosht or Zartosht."

                                Oh bravo Jules - that is yer akshul French! Ooo 'e's everso bold when 'e puts 'is mind to it...

                                That's just the sort of thing that would have eluded me but makes me go " of course" when I see the answer
                                "...the isle is full of noises,
                                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
