Little thought may seem to realize why in Europe artists went to such extremes in making Neptune and the sea horse. The painting above is referred to as a sea monster. In fact this shows a break in the links of the past. Comparison with paintings and sculptures of the same creature reveal this to be not unusual. The name of this chimera is the Hippocampus. It has been explained that the structure in the brain was given the name at the time of its discovery. When in fact the function of the organ was well known. The myths give it away. The painter Joachim Anthoniszoon Wtewael had incorporated this creature based on the Perseus and Andromeda mythology. The brain is surrounded by spinal fluid. On a physiological level the painting shows the horse in the sea shorting water from the nostrils. When fanciful drawings depicting sea monsters are viewed with the superstition assumption no one dares to question that the images are metaphors for something else. The hippocampus in the brain is also bathed in spinal fluid. The anatomical view of the hippocampus leaves much to the imagination. It could be compared to the sea horse especially the way it has been configured. What then of Neptune. What does Neptune represent in the way of mind? You will observe dear reader that once again their is the presence of a chariot and the presence of steeds. The water connection provides another important clue. The power that pulls the chariot are the impulses of the nerve signals that travel though the circuits in the hippocampus. Giulio Cesare Aranzio described the Hippocampus in the series Anatomicarum Observationum Liber first issue. This was in 1580-1587 AD. The anatomy work always selected names to descriptions in esoteric texts. This is shown again and again when reading anatomy texts. Today it is important to understand the interconnections with astronomy maps, anatomy texts, and esoteric texts. These fit nicely and are not by mere chance since they are describe the mental processes that govern the body.
