Azan (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Azan (Ancient Greek: Ἀζᾶν) may refer to the following personages:
- Azan, son of Arcas of Arcadia and the Dryad Erato, brother of Apheidas, Elatus and Hyperippe. Azania in Arcadia was named after him.[1] He was the father of Cleitor and Coronis, mother of Asclepius by Apollo.[2] When Azan died, the first funeral games in history were held in his honor.[3] It was at these games that Aetolus accidentally killed Apis.[4]
- Azan, husband of Hippolyte, daughter of Dexamenus, who was threatened with violence by the Centaur Eurytion.[5]

gollark: Also an asymmetric mode where arbitrary devices can listen and send responses to stuff but only authorised ones can send.
gollark: SPUDNET uses purely string channels and has per-channel keybased authentication.
gollark: As a mostly internal service for PotatOS and such it is also not open sourced.
gollark: I'm osmarks, the web UI is mine, and the new URL is skynet.osmarks.net. I don't think it allows tables as channels now. SPUDNET is more complex and somewhat poorly documented.
gollark: There are other projects in this space like soqet with authentication, but the design called for making it as trustless and simple as possible so skynet requires you to do encryption and stuff yourself (SPUDNET, another project of mine, does *not* do this and does have a fairly complex authorization system, but is used in different areas).
