... the history of Apollo and not see everywhere polar properties. The very common expression, "Borean god", as applied to him, plainly makes him the "god of the Bore". At his very birth, he is a "man-child" and a hero, for, in less than a year, he slaughters the polar dragon, Python, with a 1000 arrows, or sun-beams. The name Python is an inverted reading of Egyptian Typhon, the concealer of the sun. His mother's name, Latona, means "concealment". The tale runs that Latona, carrying her unborn twins, Apollo and Artemis, sunlight and moonlight, wandered in travail "all ...

... God. On the basis of this supposition-what were the original `mythological' angels? Before they were sublimed into `sons of God', pure spirits who `stand round the throne', `before God', quiring and thurifying and adoring, or going errands: they were wrathful wreckers of terrible aspect, followers of the `dragon' (Rev. xii. 7), blind tools of a cosmic power, which itself was blind. They were the personifications of the debris of the disintegrating satellite, or, rather, of the terrible devastations which this debris caused upon the earth.26 Our statement is supported by many myths relating to the creation of the ...

... that legendary streams of cosmic arrows shot by the gods upon hapless but offensive mankind might refer to the glassier kinds of fall-out. Tektites resemble somewhat obsidian, a popular igneous stone for fabricating arrowheads. Tektites may fall like showers of needles, or arrows, or as arrowheads in size, weight and hardness. The same tektites are called "Dragon Pearls" in China. Carter Sutherland in 1973 traced dragon art in China back to its apparent origins around 1500 B.C [22]. That reinforcements of the horrendous (but sometimes beneficent "Lucky Dragon") image have been supplied by various comets through the ages was documented by Dwardu Cardona (1975) [23] ...

... which curves its tentacles, with the coiling serpent, with whirlwinds, with whirlpools, and with waterspouts. The spiral gusts or whirlwinds were "carriers" of gods and other supernatural beings, because they were "life-givers" which caused the birth of the year, and therefore ensured the food supply and promoted health, longevity, etc. Dragons and "makaras " were likewise " carriers " of gods, and of kings (" sons of the sun"), and of ghosts, because they were products and expressions of a group of complex beliefs similar to that symbolized by the whirlwind spiral. But the dragon and "makara" were not merely complex manifestations of the ...

... systematic destruction of the city. Gamera, however, revives, reengages the monster in battle, and emerges victorious to receive the plaudits of his grateful admirers. From all this, it would also seem that we are viewing a reenactment of the ancient struggle between Ormazd and Ahriman, Zeus and Typhon, Quetzalcoatl and Texcatlipoca, Michael and the Dragon. As though imitating the Angel of the Apocalypse when he bound the Dragon in chains, the good turtle defeats his opponent by wrapping him up in strands of hardened saliva. And the people adore their new god, and thank him for saving them from the evil one. The interpretation of the events described above acquires relevant support from ...

(Following on this, which is based on calculations pertaining to latitudes 30-33 N, Kugler presents a long, complex argument - with tables - to show that Draco (" The Dragon churned the belt") is visible throughout the night: "the belt" is thus to be read as the "ecliptic". Since in Attica, around 100BC, Draco never set anyway, this must mean, according to Kugler, that the place of the action is Lower Egypt. - The dating of 100BC seems to ...
