In a short story by Danil
In a short story by Danilo Kis, he flies into the air to prove a point, but then plummets to a grisly death. He wrote a book entitled The Root of All in which he argued that fire was the central element which gave rise to six principles out of which the universe is made, and which join on earth in a harmony known as hestos. FTP, identify this Samarian, a rival of Christ who was known as the father of the heretics and more simply as the magician.
