What is the purpose of telling the story of the two wise men and the seven sisters?

Answer 1

Another angle of attack that is way off the spiritual Beam! It is generally agreed there were Three Wise Men in the Epiphany tale. ( We three Kings of Orient are) They have been given the names ( by tradition, as this is not in The Bible)- of Gaspard- or Casper, yes the ghost man, Melchior, often pronounced ( Mell-Choir) like he was a musician or something, and Balthazar or Bal-Shazar. No female companions, the Queens were left home in the palaces. If they were from the Orient, they may have used the China Wall, which is alluded to in the song ( march of the Kings) by Prokoviev- the opening line is late at night Upon the Great Highway, I met three kings of the Orient riding) The Great Highway is, obviously that erected under the dominion of Ch"In Shih Huang-Ti, the first Emperor of the China Wall! The Russians like to believe in part of their journey through borderlands of Russia, the wise men were escorted by Cossacks or something like that.. the songwriter hints- Intrepid agents of sword and spear, dispelled the dangers that hovered near! ( don"t try to read a KGB helicopter into that line!)
