Mythological And Historical Allusions

Not only is Poul Anderson's The Corridors Of Time comparable to HG Wells' The Time Machine and to other time travel works by Anderson himself; not only have we compared parts of Corridors to passages in Anderson's two very different fantasy works, War Of The Gods and Operation Chaos; not only does Corridors generate discussion of spatiotemporal dimensionality - but also the novel is rich in mythological and historical allusions, e.g.:

"'By all the Maruts!'" (CHAPTER EIGHT, p.71);

"'Maruts snatch you off!'" (CHAPTER NINE, p. 74);

"'By the Maruts...'" (CHAPTER TWENTY, p. 185)

And there is a reference to the Maruts in a quotation from the Rig Veda at the beginning of Anderson's The Dancer From Atlantis.  So who were these Maruts? See here.
