From The Greek Origin of Freemasonry, 1956, 2nd edition, pp. 71-72:
“The name Cabeiri derives from the Greek word κáειν or καíειν (burning). Hesychius tells us that the derivation of the word Cabeiri comes from the Greek Kαρκîνοι (cancer), or Káβουροι (kavouri or kaveiri), crabs. The crabs were deified by the primitive Greeks. Proof of their deification is that they are part of the Zodiac circle, placed next to the Dioscuroi, the Twins or Gemini, with whom they have been identified. The word Dioscouri means Dios (genetive of Zeus), and Kouri (plural of Kouros, son), that is, sons of Zeus.” (Italics were added by me.)
Dionysos is named after his father Zeus, on p. 143:
“Dionysos is composed of two Greek words, Dios or Zeus, and Nous or mind, the divine spirit of Zeus.”
I have connected the Greek Gods and Zodiac signs in the following articles:
The Greek Gods (Planetary Names)
The Twelve Olympian Gods (Hellenic Theogony)
A Quick Linguistics Lesson
I have written about the true Greek roots of the Latin and English languages before (learn more here).
Here, I will focus firstly on the number two (2) which begins with the Greek dio (δúο).
Latin Languages: Italian due; Spanish dos; Portuguese dois; French deux.
Even the word two in English is based on the ‘d’ – ‘t’ is a softer version of ‘d’.
Linguistics is about more than the written letters – it is also about phonetics.
Even the Russian alphabet is derived from the Greek one – many Russian names are of Hellenic origin.
All European, including British, languages have their roots in Greek.
From The Greek Origin of Freemasonry, 1956, 2nd edition, pp. 74-75:
“The Mysteries of Samothrace were instituted in certain sections of Western Europe, and as far away as Ireland. It is probable that these Greek Mysteries were taken to Ireland during the Bronze Age by the original settlers of this island who were Greeks…we find confirmation of the ancient legend that the splendid Celtic*** race called Tuatha De Danaan, which flourished in ancient Ireland, came originally from Greece through Scandinavia; and the same is true of other offshoots of the Celtic stock, which settled in Wales, Cornwall and Brittany.”
On pp. 140-141:
“…the Druids used the Greek characters in their writings [which] tells us that from Pythagoras they learned their information about medicine and diet.” (Pythagoras was also the founder of the Druidical Mysteries, The Greek Origin of Freemasonry, pp. 122, 136-137.)

***Most mainstream sources claim that the (Anglo)Celtic and (Anglo)Saxon peoples are the same but they are NOT – they are two different breeds of human being. The Saxons came in through Scotland. Anyone that claims they are Celtic is a liar. They are the ones who infiltrated the royal houses of Britain.
