... that part of the Earth in your lifetime. So the proposition that these things were actually intrinsically frightening ever since I've been an astronomer, I've found that positively unconvincing, and in fact when you look at the talk of eclipses in the ancient literature, it doesn't sound really like the Moon covering to the Sun, they often talk of dragons gobbling up the Sun. Velikovsky tells you about these things, and the dragons very naturally associate with comets, and I think it's fairly clear that the major interest in eclipses was more to do with what comets were doing than with what the Moon was doing, and there is one very significant factor which once you begin to realise ...

... in the third century B.C . For a discussion of the various hypotheses, see Noh (1988). Or the Ancient Record (Joe 1972:13). Actually, his name was Ung, preceded by titles such as hwan and sin. According to a legend preserved by Griffis (1911), Korea was originally a dragon that had once caused earthquakes and filled the heavens with clouds; the clouds turned many colors, and out of these colored clouds came Ung. According to Ha (1969:9 ) Ung was the son of Hwan-in and "a goddess of love." I do not know of any association between such a goddess and the Roman ...

... and Fortunatae Insulae were interchangeable terms, the Greeks preferring the term Happy Isles and Romans the Fortunate. The Greeks in their myths and legends always placed the Hesperides in the farthest west, in association with the Gorgons (related to the Orcades or Orkneys), the Graiae (the aged witches with but one tooth among them), the dragon Ladon, who guarded the Golden Apples, the fleet-footed and beautiful virgin Atalanta, so prominent in the famous Calydonian Boar Hunt, who was defeated by Milanion because he artfully cast behind him the Golden Apples given him by Aphrodite which Atalanta stopped to pick up. These and many other traditions were placed in the region of the Hesperides by ...

184. The Spring Of Ares [Journals] [Kronos]
... upon a hill of Ares near the Areia, a spring sacred to the war god. These two items, the spring and hill of Ares, are integral elements of the Kadmos legend. Kadmos and Ares are closely associated in Theban tradition. Ares was the father of Kadmos' wife, Harmonia, as well as the progenitor of the dragon slain by Kadmos.(1 ) Kadmos' relation to Ares has drawn little attention, presumably because Ares was known to be a god while most commentators have proceeded upon the assumption that Kadmos was a mortal. But if, as I have suggested.(1a) Kadmos was originally a Theban god analogous to Dionysus, who was ...

Taking the animals alone, the following put in their respective appearances: lions, bulls, calves, oxen, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, foxes, doves, sparrows, swallows, pelicans, owls, eagles, storks, quails, ravens, serpents, dragons, unicorns, adders, worms, moths, bees and snails. Yet, despite this impressive list, the psalms are not a naturalist's diary or a treatise on natural history. The list, in fact, is nothing more than a testimony to the metaphorical versatility of the psalms, for most of these animals are used to illustrate ...

... involving Inanna as reflecting historical events of the mid-second millennium BCE?). Why he chose one tradition over another conflicting tradition typically remains a mystery. At his best, Velikovsky deduces the right explanation upon a modicum of evidence, not from any detailed examination of the sources. Prominent examples here include Velikovsky's masterful discussion of the imagery of the dragon and witch. Elsewhere Velikovsky combs the relevant sources and uncovers nary a credible idea; i.e ., his discussion of the Oedipus myth. (36) Nor, for that matter, is Velikovsky's analysis of the traditions surrounding Athena without its flaws. Consider his discussion of Athena's epithet Tritogeneia, which Velikovsky would interpret as reflecting ...

... imperii', secrets of rule, to be passed on to preserve authority in the state. Oedipus is anxious that Theseus and Athens should be safe from attack by the Sown Men', i. e. the Thebans, who traced their ancestry to the dragon's teeth which, when sown, sprang up as armed men. Snake or dragon ancestry suggests electrical influence from what is described as a dragon in a cave or the sky. It has an interesting echo in the Nibelungenlied; in Wagner's Die Walküre, the Volsungs Siegmund and Sieglinde are recognised as brother and sister by Hunding when he notices the snake-like appearance of their eyes, betraying their descent from Wotan, the god ...

From Egypt we have a depiction of the "red (angry) eye of Horus in the mouth of Seth," who is the Typhonic monster. Sutherland has given us an account of how the unlucky dragon of China originated at this time and developed into the "lucky dragon" of later times, honored by being woven into the Emperors gown, even as magnificent as the ephod, robe and breastplate of Aaron. He depicts a large serpent-like creature with stubby feet and jets of flame flashing the length of its body as it pursues with ...
