"Oh dark's disturber, thunder's bringer, whirlwind,
Night-flasher, breather-forth of hot and cold...
I'm He who searched with you the whole world and
Found great Osiris, whom I brought you chained.
I'm he who joined you in war with the gods!
I'm he who closed heav'ns double gates and
Put to sleep the serpent who must not be seen..."
...You who are fearful, awesome, threatening,
You who're obscure and irresistable,
And hater of the wicked, you I call,
Typhon, in hours unlawful and unmeasured..."
-The Greek Magical Papyri in Translation Including the Demotic Spells, 154-285; 1986
