Elena,
Wow! How interesting, I never knew the three wise men's names. I wonder if the author, Garbiel Garcia Marquez, choose the name Balthazar on purpose. Both men gave children gifts. In the bible, Balthazar is a rich man who gives to Jesus, whose family is not wealthy. In the story "Balthazar's Prodigious Afternoon", Balthazar is poor and gives a gift to a wealthy family. This is a very interesting connection though!
