... Meanwhile, the celestial origin of Poseidon has long been suspected even though this has been partly deduced through a misunderstanding of his major emblem, the trident. For long, mythologists had looked upon Poseidon's trident as a fishing spear but, since a celestial origin would make this somewhat incongruous, they next opted for it being a symbol for the thunderbolt [12]. Present research tends to make this just as erroneous an interpretation. So that I will not be told that I am making too much of this object, allow me to remind my readers that the trident is as symbolic of Poseidon as the thunderbolt is of Zeus and the caduceus is of Hermes. Now in Part ...

... brought terror to the army underfoot. . . . The sun a sickly halo round him had; coiling within it frightened eyes could see great, writhing serpents . . . and in the very circle of the sun were phantom jackals." There fell, with darting flame and blinding flash Lighting the farthest heavens, from on high A thunderbolt whose agonising crash Brought fear and shuddering from a cloudless sky. There came a pelting rain of blazing coals With blood and bones of dead men mingled in; Smoke and weird flashes horrified their souls; The sky was dusty grey like asses' skin. The elephants stumbled and the horses fell, The footmen jostled, leaving each his ...

... in relation to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. All that need be remarked in passing is that meteorologists were quite unable to produce any cogent reasons for either the Amalfi landslide or the Glamorgan tornado. THE ATLANTIC HURRICANE OF AUGUST, I924 9. The summer months Of I924 were marked by a continuity of severe thunderstorms usually brief, but accompanied by thunderbolts, and heavily charged with electricity and cloudbursts. There were also reported a number of earthquakes in Britain, notably in Derbyshire and on the west coast of Scotland. August was on its worst behaviour throughout. In that month an earthquake was reported in Turkestan, followed by vast rain, causing enormous floods over a great area, and ...

... an early intellectual mentoring from the works of Velikovsky. Although Velikovsky, over 50 years ago, had seen the necessity to consider the overwhelming evidence that electricity had played a role in cosmic catastrophes, modern astronomers still never make reference to electrical energy. Wal prefaced his talk with a quote from Heraclitus, c. 500BC; It is the thunderbolt that steers the universe'. He mentioned the pioneering work of Dr Charles Bruce, who in 1941 identified cosmic jets, solar flares, magnetic fields and high temperatures as electrical discharge phenomena, and who is still ignored today; also Ralph Juergens, who regarded the Sun as a giant ball of lightning and not, as is generally ...

... the people[14]. They are admitted to the Scriptures on occasion, as in the Revelation of John of the Apocalypse in the New Testament. "In a somewhat indefinite way some Biblical scholars have recognized that Jacob's Bethel might have been a meteorite."[15] The Greek word for Bethel was Baetyli, meaning a Jovian thunderbolt. Baetyls are sacred thunderstones or meteorites carried by the holy litters or arks of various Bedouin tribes. Originally, directly or indirectly, the Ark of Moses carried the Ten Commandments on such tablets, as we shall understand later on. Very material things from the sky, then, were connected with Yahwism. THE CENSORED DESIGNS OF HEAVEN ...

... , where discharges snake between the central sphere and the outer glass envelope, then imagine 3 spheres in a line inside the glass envelope with the discharges occurring between the two end spheres. The sphere in the centre would have the discharge filaments snaking across its surface. It represents Europa, which must have periodically gotten in the way of Jupiter's thunderbolts. (Europa presently orbits Jupiter in about 3.5 Earth days). Jupiter's thunderbolts were made up from Birkeland currents, braided rope-like discharges, twisted into a plasmoid shape. Europa would have offered a source of charged particles to enable the plasmoid to travel more easily through its region of space. The charged particles would have been ...

... greatest are by fire and water, and lesser ones by countless other means. Thus the story current also in your part of the world that Phaethon, son of Hellos, once harnessed his father's chariot but could not guide it on his father's course and so burnt up everything on the face of the earth and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt - that story as it is told seems like a fable; but the truth behind j it is a shifting of the bodies that move in the heavens round the earth and a destruction, occurring at long intervals, of things on earth by fierce fire".

The Greek tanuo means I stretch out', or I put in violent motion'. Zeus is prytanis steropon keraunon te', brandisher of lightnings and thunderbolts (Pindar, P.VI:24). In Homer, the verb is used of Zeus on Mount Ida, stirring up a battle (Iliad XI:336). Another verb meaning brandish' is tinasso, which suggests the god Tin, the Etruscan equivalent of Zeus. The Etruscan zilch, or zilc, was a ...
