  Achaea - Dreams of Divine Lands
Phaestus is especially beloved of craftsmen, artisans and honest labourers, who, perhaps, feel an affinity with His work.
His selfless act in rescuing Phaestus, the Smith from His own imprisonment inside His hammer earned Agatheis both freedom and a place in the Garden once more.
Once an Elder God who fought in the Chaos Wars in the beginning of time with His dreadlords, Shaitan spent nearly two centuries joined with the god Apollyon in the form of Sartan, God of Evil, in a metaphysical union that only another Divine could truly comprehend.

  Phaestus - Wikipedia
Phaestus (Grieks: Φαιστός / Phaistos, in het Modern Grieks als Festos uitgesproken en daarom soms ook zo getranslittereerd), is de naam van een belangrijke opgraving op het eiland Kreta, vooral bekend vanwege een paleis uit de Minoïsche tijd.
De opgraving van Phaestus is minder bekend (en veel rustiger) dan Cnossus, en ligt in het zuiden van Kreta, op 6 km van de kust.
Phaestus is ook kleiner dan Cnossus en niet gerestaureerd of herbouwd.

 Sicyon, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
Phaestus 2 had a son Rhopalus, but nevertheless, on leaving for Crete he was succeeded, as king of Sicyon, by Zeuxippus, son of Apollo and the nymph Syllis.
And his reasons were well grounded; for Lacestades was son of Hippolytus 5, son of Rhopalus, son of Phaestus 2, son of Heracles 1.
From this time, they say, the Sicyonians became Dorians (for that is what they call the HERACLIDES), and their land a part of the Argive territory, as it once had been during the rule of Adrastus 1.

On sea legs, Phaestus, Gallagher, and lo, even the rapier boned creature, rolled, trod, and tramped through treasures only a traveled botanist might surmise: bewildering paintings made of sirupy fruits and flowers that ate giant bees and spit dreams into people for the pleasure of the guests to Lady Harbinger’s masquerade garden concert balls.
He hunched, amidst his garbled and wreched cursing to be clear of his spittle, now riddling his beard in red blood, tobacco chaw, and an acrid ink of india as tears came from his eyes.
His mind drifted to flotsam and jetsam, like the carving of a walking stick of cherry, perhaps even ivory, now that the spirited lift of his skipper had diminished, but ebbed back necessarily to the work at hand, tactical planning for the vesper siege of the naval yard.

It is not only Cnossus that is great, with palaces so vast that imagination perhaps exaggerates the town that must have been the chief source and beneficiary of their wealth.
Two miles northwest is Hagia Triada, in whose "royal villa" [as archeological imagination calls it] the Prince of Phaestus seeks refuge from the summer heat.
At Phaestus, about 2000, he builds ten tiers of stone seats, running some eighty feet along a wall overlooking a flagged court; at Cnossus he raised, again, in stone, eighteen tiers thirty-three feet long, and, at right angles to them, six tiers from eighteen to fifty feet in length.

As contrasted with bench testing, these tests were conducted with the different pumps serially substituted into an actual watercooling system.

Crete was centre of Bronze Age civilisation, with prosperous trades and building complex palaces, particularly in Cnossus and Phaestus.
Although, in the cities of Cnossos, Phaestus and Mallia have elaborate palaces built, there were no temples for public worshipping.
The sanctuaries found were small, and tend to be held either outdoors on the hills or in caves, instead of temples on the large scale found during classical period.

As the author I have exercised my editorial privilege by adding Swiftech's latest waterblock, the MCW5002; differing only from the MCW5000 r2 by having 1/2" barb connections.
As is well known I am no longer 'available' for outside testing, but fortunately there are two other individuals who will be conducting testing with similar rigor: Overclocker.com's Joe Citarella and Derek Peak (aka pHaestus) of Procooling.com.
This is fortunate, as there is a continuing flow of new waterblocks with greater performance needing quantification for the edification of the watercooling community.
