What was the name of the demon Jesus removed from the man and put into the pigs?

In Mark 5:9, Jesus asked the demon his name, and the demon answered, "Legion." However, there could be another meaning to this story, in which case we can not say that the demon was really called Legion.Dennis R MacDonald (The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark) argues that the Gospel of Mark contains material modelled on the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, using a technique known as mimesis, common at the time among Greek students to demonstrate mastery of the Greek language. He notes that when Jesus and his crew disembarked they met a wild, demon-possessed man of incredible strength and violent, terrifying habits, who lived among caves. In the Odyssey, Odysseus and his crew disembarked and met Polyphemus, a savage, lawless, cave-dwelling giant of incredible strength and violent, terrifying habits. When Polyphemus asked Odysseus for his name, he replied, 'Nobody'. When Jesus asked the demon his name, the demon replied, 'Legion' - the request was reversed and the answer was an absolute reverse of that by Odysseus. There are so many other parallels in this short passage that the demon's reply to Jesus was undoubtedly a transvaluation of the reply in the Odyssey, not really the demon's name.

Who was the harlot of Jericho who hid the two spies?

One of the most famous episodes in the biblical conquest of Canaan was the assault on the city of Jericho. Joshua had the priests march around the city walls and Yahweh caused the walls to collapse, allowing the Hebrews to storm the city. However, we now know from archaeologists that there had been no city at Jericho for centuries before the arrival of the Hebrews.As a prelude to the attack on the city, Joshua sent two spies, who found refuge with the harlot, Rahab, who in turn made a covenant to be spared when the attackers slaughtered her fellow citizens (Joshua chapter 2). Now, even if there really had been an assault on Jericho, this is an improbable story, since the spies provided no information of value, and were unlikely to do so.Perhaps the simplest answer could lie in that the name Rahab (or Rachab) is very similar to the Hebrew verb rāhab, generally translated as either 'to beset, storm or assault,' or 'to be proud/arrogant'. If Joshua was about to storm or assault Jericho, would this have given rise to the fictional harlot's name, Rahab?
