Maybe I've been talking to Steve Martin too much of late. I can't recall the details of the 'equivalent' Eiritha myth (if I ever knew 'em), but it doesn't instantly strike me as being so very different. Certainly 'mutual dependence' is a motif of both.

Nice myth, btw. Shame about the lurid green text, though! Incidentally, not only does the game have several 'new' myths, but it also has fuller (or at least, different) accounts of yet more that are in, or alluded to, in KoS. A most nifty part of the game. (Once you've found it, eventually!)
Cheers,
