... , was called at once "the circle of the World," "the enclosure of the ship-goddess Ceridwen," and the "Ark of the World." (54) The ship-goddess is none other than the mother earth in heaven. The Island-Ship. Ancient history is filled with legends of floating, paradisal islands, of which the Greek Delos and Hindu "island of the Moon" are noteworthy examples. The Italian floating isle of Cotyle; the Egyptian floating island of Chemnis, described by Herodotus; and the Celtic floating island of Snowdon suggest a common theme. (55) The tradition of the island-ship receives remarkable expression in the Roman island of Tiber, which, ...
412. Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in which Mars once 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 will have to wait for 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 ...
413. Who Were the Assyrians of the Persian Period [Journals] [Aeon]
... and in turn are defeated by the Quthians Old Akkadians (Old Assyrians). Hyksos in Israel/Egypt defeated by Amalekites Assyrians defeated by Scythians reaching Egypt (8th to 7th centuries BCE). The Stratigraphy of Assyria The stratigraphy of Assyria in the Persian period clearly shows that the post-Mitanni Assyrians are identical with the post-Medish Assyrians known from the Greek sources. (3 ) Thus, the following Assyrian cities or tells are found directly beneath Hellenistic and/or Parthian strata of the 4th/3rd century BCE and, therefore, must be considered as belonging to the Assyrian strata of the Persian period: Agaga (Shadikanni), Arslan Tash, Assur, Balawat, Brak, Fakhariyah ...
414. Child of Saturn (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... with light germinated. Venus, however, is not the only celestial luminary. That the Mahadevi is called tara, star, and is said to be "of the form of the Moon",(6 ) does identify her as a celestial body but, again, not necessarily as Venus. Isenberg also compared the Mahadevi to the Greek Athene, but one of the comparisons he used does not really hold. That the Mahadevi was called avara, "the youngest",(7 ) means nothing since it is not true that Athene was the youngest deity in the Greek pantheon. Heracles, Dionysus, and Pan were all believed to be younger.(8 ) ...

... . (Homophones are forms, like English be and bee, which sound the same but have divergent, and presumably unrelated, meanings.) In no few of these cases, the homophony is coincidental only in uniformist terms. In quantalist terms, the homophony may be indicative of an aboriginal synonymy. Examples of such potential synonymy follow: Greek okeanos, "ocean," looks as though its root is the same as that of Greek okus, "swift." But, because oceans move slowly compared with rivers, it has long been assumed that the root resemblance is accidental. The ancient Greeks, however, said that okeanos circled the Earth. If we assume that ...

... opened doors and entered rooms beyond what seems to be reasonable'. The bounds of possibility have been stretched .. . and stretched. Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos remains the inspiration behind numerous revisions of ancient history. Many of these are biblically orientated, sometimes intractably so. The New Chronology begins with a premise, i.e . the Greek Dark Age' did not exist (or hardly so). Emmet begins on a premise too: he has decided Herodotus was correct in placing the pyramid builders of Dynasty 4 shortly preceding Shabaka and Dynasty 25, one result of which is to identify Dynasty 5 as the same as Dynasty 25. Readers may query why a Greek tourist ...

... , indeed. But Rydberg, after establishing the etymology, has not followed up the meaning. The locomotive engineers and airplane pilots of today who coined the term "joy stick" might have guessed. For the Sanskrit Pramantha is the male fire stick, or churn stick, which serves to make fire. And Pramantha has turned into the Greeks' Prometheus, a personage to whom it will be necessary to come back frequently. 140 What seems to be deep confusion is in reality only two differing aspects of the same complex idea. The lighting of fire at the pole is part of that idea. But the reader is not the first to be perplexed by an imagery which ...

... ultimately, surely, cannot bear the brunt of real honest analysis. Man is said to have been made in the image and likeness of God' and it is usual to interpret this as bearing on the fact that man shares with God the attributes of will and intellect. Whatever else may be said it is quite certain that such obviously Greek modes of thought which we have inherited were quite alien to the author or authors of the Pentateuch whose thinking is often praised for its concreteness, i.e . its ability to call a spade a spade'. Again, the plural form of the Hebrew word for God, Elohim' is ascribed, by St. Augustine of ...
