... place to place, the Sun is one of the actors, some of the brilliant imagery such as of "the brazen bright threshold" suggests the heavens, the gods involved are all sky-gods, and the decor and associated games are celestial. Hyginus is not alone in speaking of the play as going on in the sky; speaking of Venus exciting Mars, he writes that "since she inflamed him violently with love, she called the star Pyroeis, indicating this fact."[1 ] Hyginus' Poetica Astronomica also says that: When Vulcan married Venus he watched so Mars could only follow but never catch her. This indicates the nature of the "love-affair" as ...

383. Velikovsky's Martian Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... , it is; but let it be stated, right at the start, that Velikovsky's knowledge of Martian mythology proves somewhat suspect. This is evident when he states that: "There does not exist, at least in the extant material, any mention of the first appearance of Mars, whereas expressions referring to the birth of the planet Venus have been found in literary sources of the peoples of both hemispheres." (2 ) By this, Velikovsky intended to show that, unlike Venus, Mars was not a newcomer to the Solar System but that its erratic behavior has to be accounted for through its displacement by another body- i.e ., Venus. ( ...
384. The Electric Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... quasi-stable, co-linear system of planets. It only works in a stable orbit about the Sun. However, all of the Newtonian models to date do not treat the situation where proto-Saturn was being captured by the Sun and behaving in a non-Newtonian, cometary fashion. Yet the descriptions of the polar configuration are replete with non-equilibrium electric discharge phenomena: Venus with its radiating streams and plasma toroidal "eye," not to mention the polar column itself. Astronomers already know, and are puzzled by the fact, that comets accelerate under the influence of non-gravitational forces. The Electric Universe model recognizes the cometary jets and tail as an electric plasma discharge. In that model, gravity is a ...
385. The Astronomer Royal. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... tides, incessant violent electrical discharges between the comet and the planet took place. Spencer Jones went on: This comet is supposed to have collided with Mars in the time of Joshua in the year 747 B.C . and, as the result of the collision, to have lost its tail and to have become transformed into the planet Venus.... Further catastrophes according to Dr. Velikovsky ensued. The new planet Venus collided with Mars; as a result the orbit of Venus became nearly circular but that of Mars was shifted nearer to the earth so that in the year 687 B.C . (March 23rd being the crucial date) Mars nearly collided with ...
386. The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual - Part III [Journals] [Aeon]
... " Is this a completely unrelated coincidence across time and space? Exactly what was opened and what was manifest? In Egypt, we have already seen how the resurrection of Osiris/Saturn was dependant upon his son Horus/Mars, at the peak of the polar column, opening Osiris' mouth and simultaneously returning his Eye to completeness. Venus, centred upon the orb of Saturn, was understood as both the sun god's eye and heart or heart-soul. [9 ] And in addition to being the pupil of the eye, Horus/Mars was in turn the "heart of the heart" of Ra. [10] Thus, the opening of the Egyptian sun-god's mouth ...
387. The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars [Books] [de Grazia books]
... -this idea is supported by our theory. It appears that the reenactment may take place through religious rites, through wars, through literature, through individual and group behavior of many kinds. Here it is through the sublimated medium of poetry and dance. I think that such a process is occurring in the story of the Love Affair of Venus and Mars. If my readers will agree, then we shall begin to shape a consensus on a matter of great importance to several fields of science and the humanities. The literature referred to is a brief lyric of a hundred lines, sung in Book VIII of the Odyssey. It tells how the bright-crowned goddess Aphrodite loved Ares, ...

... dancing of its city. 50. It drives its young adults before you as captives. Figure 2. Detail of cylinder seal of the Akkadian period. A winged Inanna, weapons issuing from her shoulders, stands with one foot on the back of a roaring lion. In the sky is her 8 pointed star, representing her manifestation as Venus. Courtesy of The Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, A 27903. Unlike so many texts of the Akkad period, this one tells nothing of man's violence against his fellow man. Instead, the sole agency of violence is the dragon-like, fire-raining Inanna. It is true that many later inscriptions tell of the fear, submission ...

... about his own age is of no importance, except as background for Velikovsky's reference in the Evening Session to Mulholland's having read Velikovsky's work when he was "fourteen".] Mulholland's paper was entitled, "Movements of Celestial Bodies Velikovsky's Fatal Flaw", and opened with this summary of Velikovsky's theory: "Within the folkmemory of man, Venus and Mars erupted into the sky and rushed close by Earth and each other several times, creating unimaginable destruction. The Earth stopped turning, the poles shifted, the year and month changed. Civilizations were destroyed. Finally, the two giant comets settled down into their present harmless orbits and became peaceable planets, leaving behind a legacy of ...
390. Velikovsky: Science or Anti-Science? [Journals] [Pensee]
... of the data supposedly proving Velikovsky's hypotheses actually applies equally well to other, simpler hypotheses. In many cases, Velikovsky's hypotheses were simply ones considered among the alternatives by various scientists. In no case was any hypothesis which has been subsequently supported by observation exclusively his or first suggested by him. (A prime example of this is the hot Venus.) Of course, it can also be pointed out that essentially all the mechanisms proposed and Biblical and Egyptological evidences cited were originally used by Whiston in the 17th century, and Horberger, Bellamy, and others in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Whiston, in fact, originally had proposed gravitational effects of comets to explain ...
