... a belief of the ancients, after all, that the world must be destroyed at intervals to be created anew, and it is thus quite possible that the story symbolised in Genesis I refers, for instance, to the time immediately after the Flood. It need hardly be said that Kugler adopts a similarly orthodox and detailed reading of the Greek and Latin authors. From his uniformitarian training, Kugler inherited above all one distinctive attitude: he regards the progress of Knowledge as a development ever upwards, and this naturally leads him to the uniformitarian's typically naive view of the naivete of earlier observers. This provides a convenient way of explaining away most of the legends ascribing peril to the ...
402. The Inconstant Heavens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... who state that at the time of the flood of Ogyges so great a miracle happened in the star of Venus, as never was seen before nor in after-times: for the colour, the size, the figure, and the course of it were changed. ' The catastrophe associated with the name of Ogyges, a time mark for ancient Greeks, took place simultaneously with Venus' complete metamorphosis. This statement made by Varro, the most learned of all the Romans, ' on the authority of earlier scientists should have provoked interest in the time of Newton, when the working of the solar system was elevated to the state of a most exact science. But, whereas the ...

404. The Climatic Breakdown (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... , or that the onrushing waters had buried the rich plains under great deposits of shingle (111c). Nor was it due to the fact that the earthquakes and various tectonic tiltings caused in the lithosphere by the capture deformations, and the losses of moisture-storing soil, brought about great changes in the hydrography of the `world' of the Greek forefathers (111 d, 112d). No, the chief reason for the catastrophic loss of `fertility' was that whereas formerly the country had had ` a well-attempered climate' (111 e), after the cataclysm, so we are led to infer, the weather conditions were appalling. This inference, originally supplied by the ...
405. The movement of myth? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... religious studies major, I've been heavily bombarded with the way myths are retellings of history with a certain spirituality and morality behind them (this isn't always true of course...). Anyway, I have recently been reading Sandman, which is a comic series written by Neil Gaimon. In his tales, he appropriates deities from the Greeks, Egyptians, Celts, Judeo-Xian, etc. and contextualises to our more modern experience what might be called the Platonic forms of the gods. In this I mean to say that he would employ, say Lucifer or Isis, and situate their representational meanings in a context to which we can relate in this specific historical juncture (thus ...
... page v Preface AS THE SENIOR, if least deserving, of the authors, I shall open the narrative. Over many years I have searched for the point where myth and science join. It was clear to me for a long time that the origins of science had their deep roots in a particular myth, that of invariance. The Greeks, as early as the 7th century B.C ., spoke of the quest of their first sages as the Problem of the One and the Many, sometimes describing the wild fecundity of nature as the way in which the Many could be deduced from the One, sometimes seeing the Many as unsubstantial variations being played on the One ...
407. Peoples of the Sea: An Art Historical Perspective ... [Journals] [Kronos]
... Peoples of the Sea came from the Aegean area. She accepts the chronology but prefers to reorder our understanding of the origins of these people and attendant geographical problems. See The Sea Peoples: A Re-examination of the Egyptian Sources and The Sea Peoples and Egypt. pp. 6-12: It is good to hold firm on the point of the Greek letters on the tiles of Ramesses III's palace. It is a crux which, to the best of my knowledge, defies conventional explanation. pp. 12-17: It is at least possible that the cemetery was used over a long period of time, if one adheres to the conventional chronology. pp. 21-28: The identification of " ...
408. Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion, by Ev Cochrane [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the ancient sky in which Mars played such a prevalent part has led to a detailed depiction of a Polar Configuration model, but this book neither deals in detail with the other planets' roles in this, nor with any attempts to explain the astrophysical phenomena behind it. For those we must await further works. Cochrane first considers that archetypical Greek strongman hero, Heracles, whose complex attributes and history are well recorded and include the not quite so heroic aspects of a murderous rogue. He was in conflict with the other gods, including Helios, and one of his most important facets is his combat and victory over the lord of death. Although Helios is usually taken to be ...
409. A British Forum for the Velikovsky Debate [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... such as his conclusion that Queen Hatshepsut's voyage to the "Land of Punt [Pwene]" appears in the Bible as the visit of the "Queen of Sheba" to the court of King Solomon. Such a revision of Egyptian history, Velikovsky claims, would solve at a stroke a vast range of chronological difficulties, from the apparent Greek characters found on the tiles of Ramesses III (currently dated to the 12th century BC) to the problematical "Dark Ages" that were inserted into Greek and Anatolian histories after their chronologies were linked to that of Egypt. In Palestine the Israelite Conquest of Canaan would be reflected in the destruction of its Middle Bronze Age cities, while ...
... to do, and married them to wives, now they were of an age suitable thereto. To Aristobulus he gave for a wife Bernice, Salome's daughter; and to Alexander, Glaphyra, the daughter of Archelaus, king of Cappadocia. CHAPTER 2. HOW HEROD TWICE SAILED TO AGRIPPA; AND HOW UPON THE COMPLAINT IN IONIA AGAINST THE GREEKS AGRIPPA CONFIRMED THE LAWS TO THEM. 1. WHEN Herod had despatched these affairs, and he understood that Marcus Agrippa had sailed again out of Italy into Asia, he made haste to him, and besought him to come to him into his kingdom, and to partake of what he might justly expect from one that had been his ...
