Ys And The Technic History

Three major bodies of work by Poul Anderson:

The King Of Ys (with Karen Anderson), historical fiction with a fantasy element, four long novels although I have seen a cover image for an omnibus volume;

the Time Patrol series, historical science fiction, one long omnibus collection and one tripartite novel;

the History of Technic Civilization, science fiction future history, seven omnibus volumes.

Thus, maybe, a total of ten long volumes. History and the Roman Empire are important in all three series.

The Time Patrol and the Technic History are set in distinct timelines that cannot easily be incorporated even into a multi-dimensional framework but might Ys and the Technic History fit into a single timeline? Gods manifest in Ys but the Technic History includes cosmic psychic forces that might manifest as gods on planetary surfaces.

Aldous Huxley suggests in his The Perennial Philosophy that faith and devotion generate in the psychic medium vortices that become active, are objectively experienced as saints, gods, "Virgins" etc and can even grant prayers. He describes the Thomas Becket of Chaucer's time as a deva. I do not believe that there is a psychic medium containing minds distinct from the mass-energy continuum containing psychophysical organisms but Aycharaych, the universal telepath in the Technic History, might disagree.
