... day connected to both Saturn and Mars. That, in brief, is the sequence of events responsible for the mystery and complexity surrounding the Pleiades. There is, of course, much more to the story. Mars, in fact, was a veritable child of the Pleiades. Its father was Saturn. But for a mother, the red planet had the seven rings surrounding Saturn. Mars was the only god in antiquity given such a multiplicity of maternal progenitors. All this, and much more, is upheld by the scattered testimony of the ancients. The details of this reconstruction- and of what took place before _ will, however, have to wait for future articles ...
42. Martian Metamorphoses [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... .co.uk/xxx/cat/aeon/mars.htm Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion. A Book by Ev Cochrane Earthlings have long been fascinated by the planet Mars. Well before modern science fiction speculated about advanced civilizations upon Mars and the dire threat of invasion by little green men, the red planet was regarded as a malevolent agent of war, pestilence, and apocalyptic disaster. In an attempt to appease the capricious planet-god, various ancient cultures offered it human sacrifices. What is there about this distant speck of light that could inspire such bizarre conceptions culminating in ritual murder? And how do we account for the fact that virtually ...
43. VELIKOVSKY AND OEDIPUS [Journals] [Aeon]
... unanimously identified with the planet Mars, and we have elsewhere sought to provide the astronomical basis for this identification.(86) If our thesis is to be followed to its logical conclusion, Oedipus as well is to be identified with the planet Mars, a conclusion supported also by his close resemblance to Heracles, yet another name for the red planet among the Greeks.(87) The Martian identification of Oedipus, in my opinion, will explain much that is obscure about the great tragedy of Sophocles. The intimate association of the planet Mars with pestilence and plague, for example, is a widespread motive. It is found in the early astronomical records of Babylon.( ...
44. Morning Star II [Journals] [Aeon]
... the Martian planet, it dropped from the Saturnian center. It was, in fact, this very circling that was, by the ancients, interpreted as the searching of the goddess. As we have already seen, however, Mars, which did not circle as it dropped, came much closer to Earth than did Venus. Thus the red planet was seen to grow in size as it slid down the axis or polar column. But, as we have also seen, Mars did not remain close to Earth but, because of its erratic orbit, moved closer back to Saturn and then back closer to Earth. (90) As adduced above, it was this return ...
45. Mars in Upheaval [Journals] [Aeon]
... that we have underestimated the evidence for erosion on Mars. In Discover for November, 1987, is an article discussing tornadoes on Mars. The brief anicle states: If astronomers ever make it to Mars, they may want to avoid summer in the southern hemisphere. To begin with, that's the season when huge storms tend to blanket the Red Planet with a nasty yellow dust. And in late summer, when the dust storms die down, conditions don't improve much. According to a new study that's when tornadoes scour the Martian surface. Tornadoes themselves have not been seen on Mars, but planetary scientists John Grant and Peter Schultz of Brown University think they have seen their tracks ...
46. The Origins of the Latin God Mars [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , their mutual association with the dancing Salii and the healing properties of hot springs is all that comes to mind [42]. How then are we to account for their identification? The ultimate basis of the identification of Heracles and Mars, in my opinion, is their common identity with the planet Mars, that of Heracles with the red planet being widespread in Hellenistic times [43]. Nergal's identification with the Greek strongman has only recently come to light, being first documented by H. Seyrig, who drew attention to the numerous features shared by the two gods in ancient iconography [44]. Babylonian representations show Nergal equipped with club and bow, for example [ ...
47. For the Record... [Journals] [Kronos]
... Science and Technology (1964). In a final effort to squirm out of his Martian dilemma, Sagan has also summarily dismissed the possibility of neon on Mars. "Substantial quantities of neon are now excluded by the Mariner 9 S-band occulatation [sic] experiment" (p . 62). The data from space probe activity of the Red Planet are hardly complete, however.. Interestingly enough, the New York Times of June 18, 1976 (p . D16) reported that "Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists displayed the first close-up pictures of Mars taken from Viking I and said they were puzzled by a bright haze that obscured details of the planet's surface . . . . ...

... are ejected from the asteroid belt. In half the 450 simulations one embryo was stranded in the belt with no other left to nudge it into resonance. In the other half, all embryos were ejected, leaving the belt empty save a little rubble; these simulations usually yielded a fourth planet twice the size of Mars, indicating that the red planet was unlucky' to get so little material, or that the model is less than fully adequate. Because in half the simulations the time to expel the last embryo was infinite, in some of the other 50% the time to expel the last embryos must have been very long. Thus although expulsion would begin early in Solar ...

50. Apollo and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... only recently been discovered. Thus, in a discussion of an Ugaritic text allegedly concerned with an ancient eclipse of the sun (Gordon, No. 143), Sawyer and Stephenson have identified Reseph with the planet Mars. (21) Reseph's association with Mars, should it hold up, raises the question of a possible relationship between the red planet and Apollo. The God and Planet Mars In light of the identification of these Oriental gods of pestilence with the planet Mars, it is significant to note that Apollo's close resemblance to the Latin god Mars has long been acknowledged. W. Roscher documented in the last century, for example, that both Apollo and Mars were fundamentally ...
