... , only the working of supernatural- what in German are called Ueberirdisch, over-earthly-powers has found a place in man's memory and expression in his myths. And many stories of a moonless age must have died out because it was difficult to believe, without a very definite and strong tradition, that the Moon was not always in the heavens. In Greek literature we find several passages which refer to the moonless age. No less an author than Aristotle tells us, in his Constitution of Tagea, that the barbarous Pelasgian aborigines, who inhabited Arcadia before the coming of the Hellenes, quoted, as their chief title to this land, the fact that they were already living in it before ...
332. Reviewing Velikovsky'S Venus And Mars Theories [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... from Latin, from the preposition "rata" (thrown down), and from the noun "astrum" (planet or star). Our word "disaster" has similar Latin roots. These are two among more than 350 words in the English language that are derived from Mars, astrum (planet or star), Ares (Greek), Tyr (Germanic), Indra (Vedic India), etc. Most of these words are related to warfare, death, and/or trouble.5 The word "March," the Roman first month, had its roots in Latin, in the warlike Mars. The word, "Marchesvan," is the ...
333. The Legend. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... From "Oedipus and Akhnaton" © 1960 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Legend THE Greek legend of the patricide who married his mother and sired children in incest is over twenty-seven centuries old. For a few hundred years it was carried by word of mouth and was recited as a poem of which only a few lines survive; then, in the forrn of plays written by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, followed by many lesser authors, it gained a conspicuous place in the literature of the classical period, of the Middle Ages, and of modern times as well. The story seized the human imagination, and its grip has not weakened even ...
334. C&C Review 1990 Issue (Volume XII): Contents [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: C&C Review 1990 Issue (Volume XII) Texts Home | SIS Review Home Chronology & Catastrophism Review Journal of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies 1990 Issue (Volume XII)Contents Dwardu Cardona: Homeric Troy and the Greek Dark Age 2 Should Homer's Iliad be seen as an accurate historical account? Whilst agreeing with David Rohl on the need to abolish the non-existent Dark Age of Greece, Dwardu Cardona argues that the Iliad is nothing but a poetic saga and that Homer's Troy has yet to be discovered. David Rohl: The Greek Colonisation Movement - When and Why? 9 In exploring the reasons why the ancient Greeks went overseas, founding colonies in the Aegean and ...
335. Indra and Brhaspati- II (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... therefore" must Odin. Q.E .D . Alas! Odin does no such thing; he's somehow associated with another planet altogether- Mercury . My own conclusion: such questions of "identification" cannot be settled by recourse to syllogisms alone.... Cardona is welcome to believe that Ashton has succeeded in proving that classical Greek authors have actually identified any Hindu gods, as distinct from an occasional speculation or two. What Heinrich Zimmer actually wrote was that "the [post-Alexandrian] invaders identified Indra with their own Zeus, Siva with Dionysos, Krsna with Herakles, and the goddess Padma ( 'Lotus') with Artemis".(6 ) Zimmer does ...
336. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , may offer some valuable clues. In P. M. Daviau et al (eds), World of the Aramaeans III .. ., 2001, I came across Lutz's lists of Phoenician Inscriptions from Tell el-Maskhuta' (pp. 190-212). Ever looking for dating links, I found that he included an inscribed amphora from the Greek island of Thasos, found in a destruction level supposedly dating to c. 568 BC. The inscription is no help, as it is illegible (M79-236, p. 203) but Thasian amphorae are dated rather later than 568 BC - even on the orthodox Greek chronology they start in the late 6th century (e .g . ...
... day arrived when a king revolted against their tyranny: "All the kings aforetime were compelled, not by force of arms or force to abdicate but were vanquished by superstition. They willingly obeyed the priests until in the time of Ptolemy II(285-247 B.C .) , Ergamanes, king of the Ethiopians, who was instructed in Greek learning and philosophy, was the first to despise such a custom and refused to yield obedience to it. He went with an army to the city of Arata, where was a golden temple of the Ethiopians, and having killed all the priests abolished that ancient custom."7 We do not know who was Ergamanes, nor a ...
338. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... No 2 (June 2003) Home | Issue Contents Monitor THE GREAT PYRAMID (Channel 4, 28.4 .03.). Peter Fairlie-Clarke writes: The local expert, Dr Zahi Hawass, said that graffiti written by one of the Great Pyramid builders showed that the workforce, divided into units of 200, were called by the Greek word for tribe. It did not seem to occur to him that there was anything odd about this use of a Greek word 4,500 years ago; that being the construction date mentioned earlier in the programme. The use of a Greek word by the builders of the Great Pyramid is, however, quite understandable if the Egyptians ...
339. The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay) [Journals] [Aeon]
... In fact, as I have already noted elsewhere, Michanowsky's entire work is littered with purely Saturnian motifs, though he did not seem to recognize this. Only once did he acknowledge a connection between Saturn and Vela X-when he noted that, in one Greek-written version of the Mesopotamian Deluge myth, the god Ea is rendered Kronos, which is Greek for Saturn. He then lamented that "Most of what is known of Cronus is quite uncharacteristic of Ea [which is not strictly true], with a single very striking exception. In classical literature and in subsequent esoteric writings, the name Cronus is identified with a former Golden Age and its eagerly awaited return." [Emphasis ...
340. A General Introduction to Amazon Mythology in the Greco-Roman World [Journals] [Aeon]
... since they form the basis of what we know concerning Amazon mythology. The subject is far too complex. To try to deal with it in any great depth would require a dissertation of a few hundred pages. I have therefore limited myself to the most common written sources. AMAZON ENCOUNTERS WITH HEROES Four of the great heroes of the ancient Greek world are reported to have had encounters with the race of Amazons. Three of these are themselves mythical figures: Heracles, Theseus, and Bellerophon. The fourth is historical even though a complex mythology was later to develop around him: Alexander the Great. The basic tale about Heracles is fairly simple. (6 ) One of his ...
