... a case that Samson was Mars: (1 ) document characteristics shared in common between Samson and the planet Mars in ancient tradition; (2 ) demonstrate specific and unusual parallels between the biblical hero and other gods or heroes se-curely identified with the red planet. We begin our analysis by examining the remarkable similarity which pertains between Samson and the Greek hero Heracles, whose identification with the planet Mars was widespread in Hellenistic times.

222. The Floods Of Deucalion And Ogyges, Part 1 Venus Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Floods Of Deucalion And Ogyges The history of Greece knows two great natural catastrophes: the floods of Deucalion and of Ogyges. One of them, usually that of Deucalion, is described by Greek authors as having been simultaneous with the conflagration of Phaėthon. The floods of Deucalion and Ogyges brought overwhelming destruction to the mainland of Greece and to the islands around and caused changes in the geographical profile of the area. That of Deucalion was most devastating: water covered the land and annihilated the population. According to the legend, only two persons- Deucalion and his wife remained alive. ...
223. Pharaoh Seti the Great and His Foreign Connections [Journals] [Kronos]
... with her corpse impaled on their conquering horns, imagining that they had drained her of her secrets. The process still continues, and any doubts, however well-founded, are treated with increasing disdain. The pivotal reason for this is the now nearly universally held belief that we can read all of the Egyptian texts as easily as we can read Greek or Latin, making this an effective barrier to progress. Who will bother to investigate something already fully explained? Why ask any questions for which the total answers have been supplied? If anyone really wanted to destroy all knowledge of ancient Egypt, the most effective means of achieving this is not to attempt to burn all of the papyri ...

(57) Saturn, founder of the Golden Age, was the stationary light "upon a foundation," exactly as the Egyptian Atum. Accordingly, Babylonian astronomical texts give Saturn the name Kaainu, the Greek kiun, "pillar." What was this foundation or pillar of Saturn? It was the "mountain of the an-ki [Cosmos]," formed- like the Egyptian counterpart- amid the waters of Chaos. ". .. Of the hill which I, the hero, have heaped up," proclaims Ninurta, " ...
225. The Saturn Thesis (Part 2) [Journals] [Aeon]
... who wears the crown, or wins the crown (goddess) in contests of strength and courage. The manner in which our historical model interprets the imagery will be obvious. We do not need to look further than our own Statue of Liberty to see the expressed idea of emanating rays of glory taking the form of a crown. In Greek iconography, we see the true relationship of the crown to the motif of radiance and the relationship of radiance to the sun-wheel. A good illustration of the hero's relationship to the Crown or Glory is provided by Greek paintings of Apollo, showing the head of Apollo placed within the halo-like radiance. But we are dealing here with a universal ...
226. The Relevance Of The Velikovsky Scenario To The Homeric Question [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... had access to the whole chronicle on the basis of limited portions of which the two great epics had been composed? "( A )s between the views that Dictys is a modernized Homer and Homer a dramatization of the source of Dictys, I suggest the latter as the more probable and the more fruitful."15 Evidently, the Greeks thought that Homer had predecessors; and the poet of the Odyssey seems to admit as much in his accounts of the various bards that he described, who were already singing about the war and the adventures of the heroes in returning home. At this rate, as Allen remarks, Homer will have been dealing with his sources in a ...
... and northern Syria, perplexing facts were gathered, and nearly every "Hittite" find could be interpreted as belonging in two different ages. In Gordion of the Gordian knot legend were found Phrygian mound tombs with antiquities, which their discoverers4 assigned to the seventh and sixth centuries. They judged the age of their finds by comparing them with well-known Greek antiquities. "Since the find of numerous Greek vases in the necropolis together with strongly hellenized terracotta, the cultural dependence of Phrygia upon Hellas in the sixth century is proved beyond doubt."5 The archaeologists ascribed many of these objects to a time after the expulsion of the Cimmerians and before the fall of Croesus, or between- ...

... a customary punishment inflicted by the Assyrians on vanquished peoples. Sennacherib wrote in the annals of his eighth campaign, against Palestine and Egypt: "With sharp swords I cut off their noses." For this reason Tharu, the place of exile of the mutilated offenders, was called Rhinocorura or Rhinocolura (meaning "cut-off noses") by Greek authors. Rhinocolura is el-Arish, on the Palestinian border of Egypt.(15) Referring to Palestine, Haremhab stated in his sepulchral inscription, the greater part of which is missing: " . . . Asiatics, others have been placed in their abodes."(16) Sargon, father of Sennacherib, had removed the Ten ...

... agree that there is nothing like the chance to chat and exchange ideas for a few hours. Jill Abery Meeting Report, SIS AGM on 25/4 /92 Geoffrey Gammon's Talk on Black Athena and the Ancient Near East and Aegean' Black Athena by Martin Bernal aims to correct the 19th-20th century orthodoxy regarding the independence and superiority of ancient Greek culture. The first volume was published in 1987 and its full title was Black Athena; The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilisation; Vol I; The Fabrication of Ancient Greece 1785-1985. Not surprisingly its publication provoked a storm of criticism from the Classical establishment. Prior to the 19th century it had always been accepted by the Greeks themselves, ...
230. The Origins of the Spartan State in the New Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... therefore, is to turn immediately to the Archaic period, from the early seventh century, putting aside all the efforts to reconstruct something coherent out of the blatant fictions permeating later traditions, including those which eventually become attached to the legendary lawgiver Lycurgus." [7 ] The consequences of this attitude are fundamental to the modern view of early Greek history and affect not only Sparta but also the Colonisation Movement and our basic faith in the veracity of the major literary sources of the period. A sorrier state of affairs could not be envisaged in the study of the ancient world. How entirely different our history of Greece would be if it were not for the all- pervading darkness ...
