Sargon in a basket, cast into the river by his mother. Grew up to be a great leader and law giver.
Moses in a basket, cast into the river Nile by his mother. Grew up to be a great law giver and leader.
Taliesan in a sack, cast into the Irish sea by his mother. Grew up to be a great and powerful Bard.
Sceaf in a small boat, cast into the sea by unknown hands. Grew up to be a great king and law giver.
Are there any other great leaders/speakers in myth/legend that were found floating in the waters as babies (and how many were left there by their mothers?). Does their being found in water have any symbolic connection to their later power - as law givers or speakers (Moses did supposedly have a speech impediment, but he still delivered the Laws of God to the Israelites).
