... ), edited by A. Roberts and J. Donaldson (Edinburgh, 1870). Note 2. Compare, for instance, the scintillating splendour and picturesque originality of the passage Rev. xii. 4 with the drab rendering and uninteresting dullness of the parallel verse in Dan. viii 10. The one reports authoritatively that a `great dragon' with tremendous swishings of its tail `drew the third part of the stars from heaven, and did cast them to the earth . . .

54. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Three [Books]
... death-blow; Horus decapitated his mother for this act- an explanation of the headless woman as Isis. Later her human body and cow's head in some pictures were interpreted as the result of the healing of that wound by the god Thout, who also cured the eye of Horus when it was injured by Seth.) The confusion with the dragon Apep in the ocean or the lower world made the renewal of the struggle easily intelligible; thus it could be understood, as we have already seen, of tempests and clouds, of the stormy sea and the night, of the changes in the course of the sun or moon, and (very dimly) of the world's beginning ...

... moving serpent to all peoples of the world. St. Jerome apparently had this image in view when he interpreted the star mentioned by Amos as Lucifer. Or was it the "star of David," the six-pointed star? The Egyptian Venus-Isis, the Babylonian Venus-Ishtar, the Greek Venus-Athene were goddesses pictured with serpents, and sometimes represented as dragons. "Ishtar, the fearful dragon," wrote Assurbanipal.(43) The Morning Star of the Toltecs, Quetzal-cohuatl (Quetzalcoatl), also is represented as a great dragon or serpent: "cohuatl" in Nahuatl is "serpent", and the name means "a feathered serpent."(44) The Morning Star ...
58. The Creation of the Earth -- the Second Account [Books]
... gravitation outweighed the cohesion of the satellitic orb. Thereupon the satellite disintegrated and its wreckage fell on the Earth.

The Hero' naturally restores the Earth to its former state of perfection and takes various precautions ...

60. Indra's Theft of the Sun-God's Wheel [Journals] [Aeon]
... common interpretation of these hymns would regard the tossing of the wheel as a figurative reference to the daily movement of the Sun across heaven. Such an interpretation, however, is hardly satisfactory, as it disregards entirely the identity of Indra and the nature of the cakra's function in ancient myth (i .e ., its role in the dragon combat). If we are to get to the bottom of these peculiar traditions we must start at the beginning and ask what it was that the ancients had in mind when they spoke of the wheel of the Sun? The Wheel of the Sun in Ancient Pictographs Throughout the ancient world there can be found prehistoric pictographs which, in ...
