A point here: I have a background in astrophyics and cosmology, and I know
that it would be quite "easy" to create a black hole and drop it into the
sun.    It is not too far beyond our own technology today.   I mean only a
thousand years or so.   The *theory* is simple.

On the other hand, cancelling out the black hole with a White Fountain is a
million times harder.   I have no idea how we would go about it even in
principle.

I have always assumed that the sun was wounded by Typhon.

The idea that it was in fact done by Abia and her cohorts is an interesting
one:

Perhaps Typhon had it done *in alliance with* her?   The idea of Typhon
allying with these forces for revenge, or simply as a sort of Sampson
strategy, is compelling.
