Strymon (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Strymon (Ancient Greek: Στρυμών [stryˈmɔːn]), son of Oceanus and Tethys, was a river god[1] and king of Thrace.[2] By the muses Euterpe or Calliope, he became the father of Rhesus[3][4], and possibly of Olynthus[5] and Brangas[2] and by Neaera of Evadne.[6] Strymon was also the father of Tereine who mothered Thrassa by the god Ares.[7] Another daughter, Rhodope became the mother of Athos by Poseidon.[8]
O: head of river-god Strymon
R: trident
This coin was struck by Serdi tribe in 187-168 BC or later. It's an overstrike on official Macedonian coin and imitates another Macedonian type.
For the river, see Strymon/Struma

gollark: Perhaps the headers should also store the location of the last header, in case of [DATA EXPUNGED].
gollark: There are some important considerations here: it should be able to deal with damaged/partial files, encryption would be nice to have (it would probably work to just run it through authenticated AES-whatever when writing), adding new files shouldn't require tons of seeking, and it might be necessary to store backups on FAT32 disks so maybe it needs to be able of using multiple files somehow.
gollark: Hmm, so, designoidal idea:- files have the following metadata: filename, last modified time, maybe permissions (I may not actually need this), size, checksum, flags (in case I need this later; probably just compression format?)- each version of a file in an archive has this metadata in front of it- when all the files in some set of data are archived, a header gets written to the end with all the file metadata plus positions- when backup is rerun, the system™ just checks the last modified time of everything and sees if its local copies are newer, and if so appends them to the end; when it is done a new header is added containing all the files- when a backup needs to be extracted, it just reads the end and decompresses stuff at the right offset
gollark: I don't know what you mean "dofs", data offsets?
gollark: Well, this will of course be rustaceous.
