The Golden Arrow
--
Peter Kingsley, in A Story Waiting to Pierce You (2010), argues convincingly that the golden arrow points beyond Greek mythology to shamanic traditions of Central Asia.
He portrays Abaris as a true Skywalker:
He carries an arrow as a token of his mission a special arrow, made of gold. He carries it in a great circle around the land. But he doesn't just carry it: it carries him as he flies on it through the air, a Skywalker.
