... , then mankind would be historically as well as psychologically blessed by the gods. Fountains and springs of water erupted, too, in many places, even where the pre-existing waters had been diverted or buried, so that the gods could be said to have first removed good things and then relented and given them back. The gods, sang Homer, were the givers of all good things. Jupiter took away fire to punish mankind; the god-hero Prometheus stole it and gave it back to man; Zeus enchained and tortured Prometheus eternally for his gift. But the fire remained. We have spoken largely of displacement, identification, projection, and aggression heretofore. Alongside these mechanisms moves ...

... allies at the Battle of Kadesh "mentions several peoples who all .. . are hitherto already familiar and recognizable from the Hittite imperial records as being the names of peoples of Western and Central Anatolia."7 The writer of these words, R.D . Barnett, offers the following identifications of these names: Drdny = Dardanoi (Homeric name for Trojans). Ms = Masa (identified with Mysia in Asia Minor). Pds = Pitassa (either Pedasa, neare Miletus, or Pedasos, in the Troad). Krks = Karkisa (Caria). Lk = Lukka (Lycia). If these identifications are correct, it means that the Hittites were then in ...

... like theirs... Yea, the gods of the Ethiopians are black and flat-nosed, the gods of the Thracians are red-haired and blue-eyed... Yea, if oxen and horses and lions had hands and could shape with their hands images as men do, horses would fashion their gods as horses and oxen as oxen...Homer and Hesiod have ascribed to the gods all things that are a shame and a disgrace among men, theft, adultery, deceit, and other lawless acts...." 11 11 J.

... the battle of Kadesh "mentions several peoples who all .. . are hitherto already familiar and recognizable from the Hittite imperial records as being the names of peoples of Western and Central Anatolia."(52) The writer of these words, R.D . Barnett, offers the following identifications of these names: Drdny= Dardanoi (Homeric name for Trojans). Ms = Mysia (a region of Asia Minor). Pds = Pitassa (either Pedasa, near Miletus, or Pedasos, in the Troad). Krks = Karkisa (Caria). Lk = Lukka (Lycia). If these identifications are broadly correct, and virtually no authority denies it, then ...
385. The Succession of Gods [Books] [de Grazia books]
... about the retired god. His is often a forced retirement, following a bloody, world-shaking revolution. The Greek Ouranos was castrated by his son Kronos in a terrible revolt, and moved into exile, with no intimations of a return to power. A new great age begins. The birth of the great goddess Athena is reported in the Homeric "Hymn to Athene." "Athene sprang quickly from the immortal head and stood before Zeus who holds the aegis, shaking a sharp spear: great Olympus began to reel horribly at the might of the bright-eyed goddess, and earth round about cried fearfully, and the sea was moved and tossed with dark waves, while foam burst ...
386. Earth Parturition and Moon Birth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... was recognized and worshipped in the place of Uranus. But the Moon's chief place in immediate religion was abundantly evidenced. When, by Homer's time, in the aftermath of Martian destruction, the Moon was stereotyped for its lightness of character, it could be said, as did Vico with marvelous intuition, that the fables "were received by Homer in this corrupt and distorted form."[58] SUNKEN LANDS Sunken lands are universal in legend. There is also some geophysical evidence for them. Were an explanation not afforded of the eruption of land into space, and, later on, of the deluging of the continental shelves and slopes, there would be little possibility of ...

388. Solaria Binaria [Books] [de Grazia books]
... planets are misbehaving, acting even more erratically than usual. Myth and legend are almost always anchored in earlier world ages, if not in the dawn of mankind [42]. The contents are elaborated, obscured, even deliberately edited, but their forms and force come from the aboriginal events that they sought to report. The Odyssey of Homer, for example, is sung as a story of heroic travels after the Trojan Wars on an East-West Mediterranean axis. I would place its immediate events at around 695 to 675 B.C ., its framework in the two centuries preceding. A second underlying framework, however, may go back to earlier north-south travels from Scandinavia to ...

390. The Catastrophic Finale of the Middle Bronze Age [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and ask "What gods ruled when?" If a certain god ruled during a certain time, and the same god flourished at the same time in different areas, then the same age could be distinguished in its natural and human condition by the nature of its god. From the blessed gods, all good things flow, just like Homer sang, so all the sciences would achieve inspiration and rejuvenation from a theological division of the ages. If a revival of interest in catastrophe occurs, the sciences of pala-psychology, pala-politics, pala-theology, archaeoastronomy, geology, and history need to reexamine many of their findings an theories. The methodologies employed in ancient studies require both intermeshing and ...
