I don't know elsewhere, but RW autumn is the season of equinoctial tides and in my area it's a good time for harvesting mussels as well as beets. In spring it's to be avoided because they breed and grow in summer.

I thought Pelaskos was a Silver Age god (or hero, why not).

Someone considered that some Pelaskites may be polygamous. When Joerg said the treaty wife thing, and the brothels (pleasure wives?) etc.
To LC, I am more familiar with mussel and sardine deities than oysters or whatever, I am French but I don't live far from Belgium.
