<nowiki>*</nowiki> The Æolian name of Mars was ῎Αρευς, and the Greek Ares, ῎Αρης, is a name over the etymological significance of which, philologists and Indianists, Greek and Sanskrit scholars have vainly worked to this day. Very strangely, Max Müller connects both the names ''Mars ''and ''Ares ''with the Sanskrit root ''mar'', whence he traces their derivation, and from which, he says, the name of ''Maruts ''(the storm-gods) comes. Welcker, however, offers more correct etymologies. (''See Griech. Götterlehre'', ''I.'', 415.) However it may be, etymologies of roots and words alone will never yield the esoteric meaning fully, though they may help to useful guesses.

If, however, anything is wanting to confirm the Cain-Vulcain idea, Fuerst says&nbsp;: “&nbsp;{{Style S-Hebrew|‫קין‬}}, ''Cain'', ''the iron point of a lance'', ''a smith ''(blacksmith), inventor of sharp iron tools and smith work&nbsp;” (p. 278).
