Lending From Mythology!

Roman and Greek mythology has given us a lot of interesting words.Just came across this very interesting word that i would want to share with everybody-----"Deus ex machina(dey-uhs eks mah-kuh-nuh)" which refers to an artificial,unexpected and improbable character who provides an unexpected solution to a difficulty.
This word reminds me of a much hackneyed hindi term that is "Masiha"who is a saviour of mankind.I could also relate this to our much loved superheroes of the west or closer home,even SHAKTIMAAN!
Keep watching this space for a lot more interesting words borrowed from mythology!
