Son of Adam, Daughter of Eve and Weird Tales

The following notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site stands out:

Saeid Pirdoost, 85, Iranian actor (Snake Fang, Son of Adam, Daughter of Eve, Great Award), cancer

Note the Adam and Eve and snake in the titles of the first two films, quite remarkable when you consider the recent and prominent “Adam and Eve/Bible Theme” pattern cluster.  Note from Pirdoost’s wiki page: 

Saeid Pirdoost (6 January 1941– 6 January 2026)

He died on his birthday, and so another addition to the “Birthday Blues” pattern cluster.   As well, his first name is an addition to the “Remove a Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster … and so removing the “e” makes “said”, and as for his surname, I was able to locate an etymology of “oost”— Dutch for “east”, with the first part, pird, possibly a cryptic “pied” and/or “pier”.  Note etymology below: 

east

Old English east, eastan (adj., adv.) "east, easterly, eastward;" easte (n.), from Proto-Germanic *aust- "east," literally "toward the sunrise" (source also of Old Frisian ast "east," aster "eastward," Dutch oost Old Saxon ost, Old High German ostan, German Ost, Old Norse austr "from the east"), from PIE root *aus- (1) "to shine," especially of the dawn. The east is the direction in which dawn breaks

pied(adj.)

"parti-colored, variegated with spots of different colors," late 14c. (early 14c. in surnames), as if it were the past participle of a verb form of the Middle English noun pie "magpie" (see pie (n.2)), in reference to the bird's black and white plumage. Earliest use is in reference to the pyed freres, an order of friars who wore black and white. Also in pied piper (1845, in Browning's poem based on the German legend; used allusively by 1939)

pier(n.)

late Old English, pere, "support of a span of a bridge," from Medieval Latin pera, a word of unknown origin, perhaps from Old North French pire "a breakwater," from Vulgar Latin *petricus, from Latin petra "rock" (see petrous), but OED is against this. Meaning "solid structure in a harbor, used as a landing place for vessels; mole or jetty projecting out to protect vessels from the open sea" is attested from mid-15c.

The pied piper above brings me to research the old fable. Also above poet Robert Browning is mentioned:  

Robert Browning (7 May 1812 – 12 December 1889)

On investigating the Pied Piper wiki page, I came to the following cryptic connection re Russell’s date of birth

• Eric Frank Russell, "The Rhythm of the Rats" in Weird Tales (short story, July 1950): a retelling of the Pied Piper legend as a 20th-century horror story.

• Eric Frank Russell (January 6, 1905 – February 28, 1978) 

So Saeid was born … and then died on Russell’s birthday!!

AI provides a brief on Russell’s version in “The Rhythm of the Rats”: 

• Plot: A lone survivor of a crash finds a remote village with medieval customs, a deep fear of the dark, and an unusual reverence for rats, which they see as their children.
