Talk:Enoch Root
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] elixir vitae
This article states that Enoch uses the elixir to "to resurrect himself after he dies." Based on Daniel's application of the elixir to Newton in The System of the World, the process of combining the elements and consuming them seems to be fairly difficult for a corpse. If there is something I missed, please enlighten me; otherwise, this information is incorrect and should be changed. --Ckostovny 20:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Elihu Root
I wonder if there's also a reference to American politician/diplomat Elihu Root. The "wise man" image, involvement in major geopolitical events (WWI, the League of Nations), interest in mathematics, comments about the value of gold, etc. all fit pretty well. -- Jake 07:37, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
