This study is the English edition of Peleus 54,which was published in 2011
in German and in the same year in Greek. As they were not taken notice of by the English
speaking world I decided to re-publish it in English and add new elements and
new insights. The postscriptum chapter describes the events which followed after
the publication of the two other versions.
